To be honest, I think the list's value was reduced a lot when the forums opened and (I presume) all the mathematical discussion moved there. It's still useful as an announcement list, IMO, but it's not a very fruitful source of discussion about mathematics anymore. Pity -- it's given me a lot of fun over the years, even though 98% of the maths went way over my head the first year (and then probably 95% the next year, and 90% the next year -- with some luck I might be able to understand 30% of what you guys are talking about after four years in university :-) ). /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
