Some anecdotal evidence for the source of some strange coincidences between this author and the name "Lambert":
Father owned a VW beetle, whose left door was destroyed in a car accident in 1971. The door was subsequently changed in 1972 and along with that, the car keys. The new car key, has on it imprinted something which resembles the Shell-Thron region. This is the image of the Complex unit circle, under the map φ(z)=ez/ez, the inverse of which involves Lambert's W Function. This is also the area of the Complex plane inside which the infinite exponential tower +∞z converges. |
