- I vaguely recall from a math course that there was a paper published
- by three soviet mathematicians, the third of which having signed the
- paper only to make the three mathematicians' names sound like ``alpha,
- beta, gamma''. The third mathematician's name was Gamow. Does
- anybody know the names of the other two?
