- Depending on whether you think the journal "Mathematical Intelligencer"
- is scholarly :-), there was an article on the Mittag-Leffler/Nobel
- myth many moons ago (must have been more than 4 years ago). Does

- I heard it first from a Field Medalist, and naturally thought the myth
- was true (silly me) until I read the aforementioned article. Sigh.
