- I read in the Contra Costa Times of Saturday, January 23, that in fall of 1991,
- Christy Randall, then a freshman at Miami University, discovered a calculus
- theorem "by accident". But the article made no attempt to describe the theorem.
- Does anyone else know about this? Could someone tell me what this theorem is
- about, or where I could read about it? Please e-mail responses, as I don't
- read this newsgroup. (Maybe this has been discussed here before; if so I
- apologize.) Anyway, I'm really curious.
-
- Thanks in advance.
