If there are Jews present, please let us know the word, but I'd be shocked to
find them starting the week any other time than sundown on Sabbath (what the
Christian world pretty generally calls Saturday).

The only non-western culture I've had much contact with was in Thailand and
they run on a pretty typically western week, school was open Monday through
Friday, and the calendar had (as I remember it) a week which started with
Sunday.  Don't know how much of that is western influence, though. . .

          ==========================================================
To the pure geometer the radius of curvature is an incidental characteristic
- like the grin of the Cheshire cat. To the physicist it is an indispensable
characteristic. It would be going too far to say that to the physicist the
cat is merely incidental to the grin. Physics is concerned with
interrelatedness such as the interrelatedness of cats and grins. In this
case the "cat without a grin" and the "grin without a cat" are equally set
aside as purely mathematical phantasies.
