| This topic is more appropriate for the UCOUNT::JOYOFLEX conference (use
SELECT or keypad 7 to select the conference). See note 193 (and
possibly others) in that conference.

Thanks for the pointer. I will look up note 193 in UCOUNT::JOYOFLEX.

| 563.4 | could someone get all of 193 from UCOUNT::JOYOFLEX | THEBUS::KOSTAS | Wisdom is the child of experience. | Tue Aug 12 1986 12:57 | 9 |
| re. .1
someone should copy note 193 from UCOUNT::JOYOFLEX to here. Because
I think the replies are interesting. ( I was going to do that but
I do not know as easy way).

Oh, since when palindromes do not qualify as a math topic?
Are you going to stop non math topics?
What's next? Computer algorithms? possibly Logic? or even Graph
theory problems?
I think to the mathematician, everything around him/her is interesting
especially if it has or can be shown that it has a relation to
mathematics.

Part of the tradition of noterdom is that you abide by the rules and
the moderator is the ruler. If you don't like it, start your own
notesfile, delcare yourself as moderator, and enjoy yourself.
Verbal palindromes are not a math topic and don't belong here.

| re. .7
John,
I do not agree with what you said in .7 about verbal palindromes
are a not a math topic. I believe a number of mathematicians have
spend years in research in that area. Now if you choose to ignore
the work of other mathematicians it's ok with me. I have not heard
the opinion of the moderator (which you are not) (show modelator
shows GILBERT) on this matter.
Regards,
Kostas G.

| I'm reminded of the problem of finding a set of words that contain
each letter of the alphabet exactly once. In that problem, there
was mathematics in the algorithms to search for such a set of words.
The problem of finding a solution to sentences of the form "This
sentence contains ___ a's, ... and ___ z's" is also mathematical
in nature.
But palindromic English sentences are not particularly mathematical,
and since this topic already has a home (in JoyOfLex), let's avoid
the duplication, and give the discussion its appropriate audience.

Please add the following to the note (currently set NOWRITE) on palindromic
words and phrases in the MATH notes file:
As the moderator might have said,
"I prefer Pi."
