http://web.ccr.jussieu.fr/gmpib/oliver/opinions/Opinion006.html

Extractions: While I am very sympathetic with Doron Zeilberger's frank and direct way of expressing his ideas and while most of the mathematics he does with his companion Shalosh B. Ekhad has a strong appeal to me, I am far to agree with it on many minor aspects of his opinions. (It is better to have read Doron Zeilberger's text before reading this. See: and for the feedback he received from various people go to As english is not my mother tongue, any comment on the spelling, grammar or style of this text is welcome. Please mail it to me No, a Ph. D. in math does not warrant at all the ability to learn programming, even when one has removed those very common psychological blocks DZ refers to. There is a lot to unlearn, there is the whole social implication of a researcher in the academic system. Moreover, we all now math Ph. D. who aren't smart *at all* and especially about mathematics. Introducing this kind of public to even mathematically-minded computer macro-languages like TeX is sometimes worth Hercules' works. Part of the trouble with any academic system is that there are areas, times and circonstances were you can be dubbed "researcher" or "professor" by only being a good schoolboy, no need to be smart or creative about the subject. In fact, the mathematics researchers I know who program well had most of the time a keen interest in programming or computers before they graduated. It makes me appreciate even more the senior mathematicians who are good with these tools or who switched successfully at a late stage in their career.

Extractions: And so begins a 2000 year long attempt to prove Euclid's fifth postulate is a result of the first four: Mideast: Medievil scholars: 16th Century: 17th Century: Up to this point all the proofs developed failed for two reasons: The authors either implicitly use assumptions equivalent to the parallel postulate, or formulated a new fifth postulate of their own, which the used with euclids first four to prove the parallel postulate. Although they held these alternate postulates to be obvious beyond critism, they were also identical to the Fifth Postulate (in the presence of the previous four).

Extractions: Exodus 6 Verder sprak God tot Mozes, en zeide tot hem: Ik ben de HEERE, En Ik ben aan Abraham, Izak, en Jakob verschenen, als God de Almachtige; doch met Mijn Naam HEERE ben Ik hun niet bekend geweest. En ook heb Ik Mijn verbond met hen opgericht, dat Ik hun geven zou het land Kanaan, het land hunner vreemdelingschappen, waarin zij vreemdelingen geweest zijn. En ook heb Ik gehoord het gekerm der kinderen Israels, die de Egyptenaars in dienstbaarheid houden, en Ik heb aan Mijn verbond gedacht. Derhalve zeg tot de kinderen Israels: Ik ben de HEERE! en Ik zal ulieden uitleiden van onder de lasten der Egyptenaren, en Ik zal u redden uit hun dienstbaarheid, en zal u verlossen door een uitgestrekten arm, en door grote gerichten; En Ik zal ulieden tot Mijn volk aannemen, en Ik zal ulieden tot een God zijn; en gijlieden zult bekennen, dat Ik de HEERE uw God ben, Die u uitleide van onder de lasten der Egyptenaren. En Ik zal ulieden brengen in dat land, waarover Ik Mijn hand opgeheven heb, dat Ik het aan Abraham, Izak, en Jakob geven zou; en Ik zal het ulieden geven tot een erfdeel, Ik, de HEERE! En Mozes sprak alzo tot de kinderen Israels; doch zij hoorden naar Mozes niet, vanwege de benauwdheid des geestes, en vanwege de harde dienstbaarheid.

Extractions: Numeri 3 Dit nu zijn de geboorten van Aaron en Mozes; ten dage als de HEERE met Mozes gesproken heeft op den berg Sinai. En dit zijn de namen der zonen van Aaron: de eerstgeborene, Nadab, daarna Abihu, Eleazar, en Ithamar. Dit zijn de namen der zonen van Aaron, der priesteren, die gezalfd waren, welker hand men gevuld had, om het priesterambt te bedienen. Maar Nadab en Abihu stierven voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, als zij vreemd vuur voor het aangezicht des HEEREN in de woestijn van Sinai brachten, en hadden geen kinderen, doch Eleazar en Ithamar bedienden het priesterambt voor het aangezicht van hun vader Aaron. En de HEERE sprak tot Mozes, zeggende: Doe den stam van Levi naderen, en stel hem voor het aangezicht van den priester Aaron, opdat zij hem dienen; En dat zij waarnemen zijn wacht, en de wacht der gehele vergadering, voor de tent der samenkomst, om den dienst des tabernakels te bedienen; En dat zij al het gereedschap van de tent der samenkomst, en de wacht der kinderen Israels waarnemen, om den dienst des tabernakels te bedienen. Gij zult dan, aan Aaron en aan zijn zonen, de Levieten geven; zij zijn gegeven, zij zijn hem gegeven uit de kinderen Israels.
