Aviezri Fraenkel's Home Page

This page lists some of
my preprints, recent reprints, and indicates how to access my Games
Bibliography. Also my special favorite, the Responsa Project,which
is used worldwide, is mentioned briefly. It is a full text storage and
retrieval system, preceeding Google by 35 years. In 2007 it was awarded
the prestigious Israel Prize.
