This text originated as a lecture delivered November 20, 1984, at
Queen's University, in the undergraduate colloquim series
established to honor Professors A. J. Coleman and H. W. Ellis and
to acknow ledge their long lasting interest in the quality of
teaching under graduate students. In another colloquim lecture, my
colleague Morris Orzech, who had consulted the latest edition of
the Guilllless Book oj Records, remainded me very gently that the
most "innumerate" people of the world are of a certain tribe in
Mato Grosso, Brazil. They do not even have a word to express the
number "two" or the concept of plurality. "Yes Morris, I'm from
Brazil, but my book will contain numbers different from 'one.' " He
added that the most boring 800-page book is by two Japanese
mathematicians (whom I'll not name), and consists of about 16
million digits of the number 11. "I assure you Morris, that in
spite of the beauty of the apparent randomness of the decimal
digits of 11, I'll be sure that my text will include also some
words." Acknowledgment. The manuscript of this book was prepared on
the word processor by Linda Nuttall. I wish to express my
appreciation for the great care, speed, and competence of her
work."
