I guess I'm not understanding the problem then, because I thought we were not supposed to expand into a do, since the problem states: "Define ntimes (page 167) to expand into a (local) recursive function instead of a do." Isn't the problem

Sorry about the non-pretty printing. It was nicely formatted, when I entered it (I swear). Is there something like a <code> tag I could use? Also, not all of the error message printed. What's up with that?

It got "Hey Jude". At least, that was the 2nd of the possibilities it mentioned. I think that's kind of amazing.

I took that class from Kunen at Wisconsin in the late 80s. But I'll be damned if I can find my copy of that yellow book or remember enough to be of any help. I have to admit that I never really did understand forcing. It seemed like all the

The book has chapters on mathematicians such as Kurt Gödel and Paul Erdős among others. I'll have to get it. Why no musicians, though? I would have added Glenn Gould to the list.

So, religiosity = c / wealth for some constant c, with the U.S. (and Kuwait) as an outlier. Why am I not surprised, yet somehow disappointed?

This book has been out for awhile, but I just started reading it and am having a hard time putting it down. If you're interested in G.H. Hardy or Ramanujan, you should definitely read it. Of course, it's a novel, but the portrait of Hardy

I would ask for a lot more money to finish the job (a lot more) and say "take it or leave it". If he isn't willing to pay the extra money, I would just walk away. There's nothing to be gained from debating with a troublesome manager who do
