Mathematical Genitalysis: A Powerful New Combinatorial Theory that Obviates Mathematical Analysis

[Exclusive to the Personal Journal of S.B. Ekhad and Doron Zeilberger]

Written: April 1, 1998

Yet another `April's Fool Joke', that may one day turn out to be not so funny after all. Let's hope, though, that the extra-curricular activity of the mathematicians mentioned in this piece would not be emulated.

P.S. For the non-Hebrewophone, DIBRA means `commandment'.

Added May 24, 2001: I just found out that at least one person was fooled by this article, and that person is a master at April-fooling himself! See Richard Askey's article at v. 42 of Actes de Seminaire Lotharingien, or its paper version, `The Andrews Festshrift' just published by Springer (p. 10 and p. 25 respectively).
