- Actuaully, the "B." doesn't stand for the Hebrew prefix "beh-" but
- rather the English letter "B". It seems the model number of Doron's
- computer "3B1".
-
- Doron while terribly enthusiastic about everything he does is not a
- member of Jews for Jesus (to my knowlege). Actually, Doron is quite
- learned about Judaism, and has often made reference to "Gematriyas"
- (Cabbalistic homomorphisms between words and numbers) and to the
- discovery of the factorial in the Sefer Yetsira (Ch IV, v 12).
- (See for example his "Proof of the Alternating Sign Matrix
- Conjecture"---inspired in part by 3B1, or Foata and his "Denert's
- statistic is Euler-Mahonian".)
