Subject: Origins of words/expressions
When I was an undergraduate, majoring in chemical engineering, we used to
ask "What's new?" To which the answer was: "Pi over lambda." Now I am a
retired linguist working on the origin of words and expressions, and I
cannot remember what that is the formula for. I know we are not scientists,
but does someone know? It would fit in so well in my present chapter.
