  Some other mathematicians took another set of work by Cox and created the Cox Ring.

    Wasn’t there an actual NASA project called C3PO? I’m vaguely remembering a MattPatt video from Pre-FNAF days

  A thing to note is that they didn’t name the algorithm. It was 5 years later when Charles Schwartz gave it that name

  Just gonna leave us wondering about the algorithm, eh?

  In arithmetic geometry, the Cox–Zucker machine is an algorithm created by David A. Cox and Steven Zucker. This algorithm determines whether a given set of sections[further explanation needed] provides a basis (up to torsion) for the Mordell–Weil group of an elliptic surface E → S, where S is isomorphic to the projective line.

  Or was that just me?

    Mmm.

    Aha, yep. I know some of these words.

    I wasn’t very curious since according to them, the primary point of the paper was making a joke. I’d supposed the algorithm wasn’t groundbreaking, just something to publish.

  I love that this originated from Rutgers.

  This was a deliberate choice by Cox and Zucker, who, as first-year graduate students at Princeton University in 1970, conceived of the idea of coauthoring a paper for the express purpose of enabling this joke. They followed through on it five years later, as members of the faculty at Rutgers University
