	Yesterday...
	After 3 weeks of trying, my Knuth study group duplicated the "... after some calculation, it can be shown that ..." that we've been stuck on. I inhaled Freakonomics over lunch. How RoeVWade aborted a crime wave just as it started. The corporate structure of a crack gang. Realtors' codewords for overpriced houses. How Superman destroyed the KKK. Tags: books, knuth

One of my coworkers was just telling me about that book. Worth a read I take it?

Section 1.2.8, right before (13) "... after a little calculation we find that G(z) can be expanded... ".
