Dear Dimitris,

Thanks a lot. It's a wonderful notebook.

Ajit.

Dear Ajit

I think you will see many interesting things downloading the package
and the notebook

Dear Ajit,

I also liked the proposed nb,
but you might be still be interested in reading
this small recursive program calculating
Roman numerals (form our book with L. Szili, 1996).

arabic = Union[10^Range[0, 3], Flatten[Outer[Times, {9, 5,4},
10^Range[0, 2]]], {0}];
roman = ToString /@ {{}, I, IV,V, IX, X, XL, L, XC, C, CD, D, CM, M};
MapThread[SetDelayed, {ToRoman /@ arabic, roman}];
cap[x_Integer /; 0 < x < 4000] := First[Select[Reverse[arabic], # < x
&, 1]];
ToRoman[x_Integer /; 0 < x < 4000] := SequenceForm[ToRoman[cap[x]],
ToRoman[x - cap[x]]]

ToRoman /@ (2^Range[0, 12])
