It occurred to me in retrospect that the constant function
f(math statement) -> "Euler's Theorem"
is probably statistically better than almost any other such constant function, given that Euler did so much (including much that doesn't have his name attached).
"Everything in mathematics is named after the second person to discover it, becuase you can't call *everything* `Euler's Theorem.'" I no longer recall whom I first heard use this line... --Michael Kleber kleber@brandeis.edu
