Credit to the author for (a) calling this out, whilst (b) maintaining decorum and assuming good faith.
> I don’t mean to pick on Dr. Tai, especially since I only have access to the paper’s abstract. In fact, it’s perhaps a credit that s/he rediscovered the rectangle/trapezoidal method. Further and more seriously, this paper is perhaps an important example of the importance of interdisciplinary communication.
- ojnabieoot 6y agoI don’t think the author deserves much credit for “calling this out” - the paper was published in 1994 and has been a meme in math circles for about as long.
