I went to Lance's page this morning, saw the picture of the framed Bourbaki letter, and said, "hey there's a framed letter from Bourbaki, I think I've seen something like that before."<BR/><BR/>Then, without scrolling down to see any of the text of the post, I remembered that Lance was visiting here in Bloomington, and that it was in fact the letter hanging in the math department lounge that I had looked at on many occasions.<BR/><BR/>Just a strange "small world" revelation to start the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-1169850017520708112007-01-26T16:20:00.000-06:002007-01-26T16:20:00.000-06:00P was G.
