Introduction

edit

The page has, near the top, "The following year, on 16 March 1883, he delivered a short account of his congruence relation (Zeller's congruence), which was published in the society's journal."

(1) The content of the "congruence relation" page is not significantly related to Zeller's work; the link is not appropriate.

(2) It seems a little strange to introduce by mentioning his second such paper, only.

(3) His Easter work, included in the papers, is of equal importance.

How about The following year, on March 16, he delivered a short account of his methods for calculating day-of-week (Zeller's congruence) and the date of Easter, which was published in the society's journal.? 82.163.24.100 (talk) 22:14, 29 October 2008 (UTC)Reply


Biography

edit

The merlyn page cited in the Article is hardly comprehensive, biographically; though it describes his well-known work. The Martinszeller Verband (Zeller family association) has much more detail, some of which is at http://www.martinszeller-verband.de/genealogie/getperson.php?personID=I3331&tree=zeller (Root : http://www.martinszeller-verband.de/genealogie/). 82.163.24.100 (talk) 23:23, 25 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
