Talk:Hadwiger-Finsler inequality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Weizenbock

Most results in mathematics are named after mathematicians. "Weizenbock's inequality" is an exception to the rule. It's named after a type of beer (dark wheat beer) -- presumably because it's easy to prove (as in even when you've been drinking, or perhaps right after breakfast, since some German families drink wheat beer in the morning).

Anyway, I think this is sort of funny, but I can't put in the article because I can't cite a source. Can anyone find a citation for the origin of "Weizenbock's inequality"? DavidCBryant 12:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
