In the book on the cover he wrote "Trigonometry engenders stupefication." I would guess he wrote that in the book in the mid 1920s. At first glance, I would assume a misspelling of the word stupefaction. Looking back he was a near perfect speller and had an good sense of humor. I believe he purposely misspelled the word as a play off the word "stupid". First time I seen the word “stupefication” was in my Grandfathers Trigonometry book..
