Well, Swinnerton-Dyer and Underwood Dubley, both need to go to their affiliated University student newspaper and publish that they are sorry for teaching brainwashed propaganda that the slant cut in single cone is a ellipse when it was a Oval all along.

We make students pay the price of mistakes by grading them. It is time for Dyer and Dudley to pay the price of mistakes by apologies to all their students that they were mindless fools of geometry thinking that a single cone had 2 axes of symmetry to produce a ellipse, when it only has 1 axis of symmetry.

This is especially important for Dudley since he is advanced in age to make the published apology.

Interested to see you attribute comments to me that the records will
show to be your own. Tut. You campaigning as well?

Glad to see you got my name wrong; I just hope there's no Swinnerton-
Dyer in the UK. You might get to be a tad uncomfortable if there is.

To say nothing of what Dr. SW would do to your account. :-)

"Psychoanalysis is at best a premature crystallization of spurious orthodoxies;
at worst, a pseudo-scientific doctrine that has done untold harm to psychology
and psychiatry alike, and that has been equally harmful to the hopes and
aspirations of countless patients who trusted its siren call. The time has come
to treat it as a historical curiousity, and to turn to the great task of
building up a truly scientific psychology."

Peter, I agree that Wiles is a Century Math Kook for Wiles with his
FLT con is the end of the era of Natural Numbers = Finite Integers. And
the new horizon by AP of Naturals = p-adics.

But I do not think that Wiles is a Millenium Math Kook, although his
footwork speed of pulling the wool over the eyes of the world is con
artistry prima donna.

And Cantor could be the 19th Century Math Kook KOTM
(kook-of-the-math).

But no-one in math it appears to me is qualified for a KOTM Millenium
award, although in physics one can honor Ptolemy, or even Plato.

What does Robbie Honerkamp think?
