Subject: Re: more on lim-1 Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 17:16:48 -0500 From: Clarence Wilkerson To: Don Davis CC: wilker@math.purdue.edu L. Avramov backs me up on the story that Milnor references the Princeton thesis of one of his grad students. My memory is that this is the 1959 this of Yeh. However, to my surprise, this has proved to be tough to verify on the web. 1) It does not appear on MathSciNet. 2) The math geneology project has only partial information -- there was a grad student named "Yeh". My version has initials R. Z., theirs Z.Z. They list no title or year. 3) Of course, I could go 10 feet below me to the math library, and find the article, but that would be cheating!
