mark edmundson comments that in writing "moses and monotheism", freud, while not abandoning his atheism, perceived for the first time a value in the abstract form of monotheism—the worship of an invisible god, without jesus or saints—practiced by the jews.









































in "moses and monotheism", freud proposed that moses had been a priest of akhenaten who fled egypt after the pharaoh's death and perpetuated monotheism through a different religion.









































according to jay geller, "moses and monotheism" is full of "false starts, deferred conclusions, repetitions, rationalizations, defensive self-justifications, questionable methods, and weak arguments that are readily acknowledged as such by freud."

the first quasi-newton algorithm was proposed by william c. davidon, a physicist working at argonne national laboratory. he developed the first quasi-newton algorithm in 1959: the dfp updating formula, which was later popularized by fletcher and powell in 1963, but is rarely used today. the most common quasi-newton algorithms are currently the sr1 formula (for "symmetric rank-one"), the bhhh method, the widespread bfgs method (suggested independently by broyden, fletcher, goldfarb, and shanno, in 1970), and its low-memory extension l-bfgs. the broyden's class is a linear combination of the dfp and bfgs methods.
