In her response, Noreen Goldman makes three major points. First, the Far Eastern mortality pattern as originally formulated by her differs from that defined by the United Nations Population Division.

The Goldman–Parker Conjecture classifies the complex hyperbolic C–reflection ideal triangle groups up to discreteness. We proved the Goldman–Parker Conjecture in [6] using a rigorous computer-assisted proof. In this paper we give a new and improved proof of the Goldman–Parker Conjecture. While the proof relies on the computer for extensive guidance, the proof itself is traditional. AMS Classifi...
