Subject: 2 is an unexampled even prime
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2015 21:23:14 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1ZydSM-00016P-4y@mlist.mta.ca> (raw)
I wrote that I didn't know what "unexampled richness" means. Fred
Linton was the first to tell me that it means unparalleled. Indeed,
the Oxford English Dictionary gives the definition:
Having no preceding or similar example; unprecedented, unparalleled.
and lists 7 citations, the earliest from 1610.
Sounds like a contradiction to me.
