Ptolemy Club Research Foundation

Compiled by Lambros D. Callimahos

Monograph No. 1

Foreward

     This publication heralds the first in what
is hoped will be a series of definitive treat-
ments of important topics facing the scientist
in this technological age.  Although this first
monograph is hardly controversial in its nature
or approach, it neverteless faces squarely up
to a rather sticky problem that has long baffled,
puzzled, rankled, and bothered mathematicians all
over the free world.  Like Euler's Identity and
Gauss's formula for the number of primes under N,
the utter simplicity of this presentation should
appeal to both novice and expert alike, requiring
as it does only the rudiments of counting, al-
though graduate study in celestial mechanics is
certainly not a bar to its full appreciation.

     I wish to thank the Directors of the Ptolemy
Club Research Foundation for their encouragement
in the face of adversity, and for the insubstan-
tial grant which made this far-reaching study pos-
sible.  I also wish to acknowledge the assistance
of my good wife, Helen, who egged me on and on
and on; not only did she read through the manu-
script, but she gave me her unstinting help and
unflagging cooperation without which this work
no doubt could not have seen the light of no day.
Any errors in this paper are the author's, of
course.  Comments, criticims, and suggestions for
revision are invited.

Monograph No 7

Foreward

     This present Monograph is a fitting tribute
to the culmination of seven days of feverish acti-
vity on our part.   It will mark the last Monograph
in the series, since the Board of Directors of the
Ptolemy Club Research Foundation have seen fit to
utilitize our multifacted talents for the relief of
human misery, not for creating additional problems.
We were quite flattered at the first kudo (sic): a
captaincy in the Salvation Army, polietly declined.
The second kudo (sic sic): Director of the Paki-
stani Planned Parenthood Association, declined as
being unprolific.  The third offer was accepted
with alacrity (Alacrity is a Greek friend of ours):
Chamber VIrtuoso to the Lion of Judah, an imposing
title, pregnant iwth possibilities.

     I wish to thank the Directors of the Ptolemy
Club Research Foundation for their encouragement
in the face of adversity, and for the insubstan-
tial grant which made this far-reaching study pos-
sible.  I also wish to acknowledge the assistance
of my good wife, Helen, who egged me on and on
and on; not only did she read through the manu-
script, but she gave me her unstinting help and
unflagging cooperation without which this work
