April Fool transparencies by George Andrews, Madison, April 1, 1975
George Andrews gave an invited lecture on April 1, 1975 at the MRC Advanced Seminar on Special Functions (March 31 - April 2, 1975) in Madison. He started with two transparencies headed byQ-ANALOG OF EXTENDED MEIJER’S G-FUNCTION
and containing an extremely complicated and crazy formula. The third transparency said:
APRIL FOOL
