This is a collection of scholarly articles published by Ken Conklin before he came to live permanently in Hawai'i. There were about 45 such articles from 1966 through 1985. Some of them remain unavailable except by looking in the archives of major universities.
Each article collected here was held for many years by Ken Conklin in the form of a "reprint." Each reprint was a small booklet printed from the same plates used to print the original scholarly journal; and the reprint was printed immediately after the journal itself.
The articles collected here are arranged in chronological order by date of publication, earliest on top.
Ken Conklin's friend Jere Krischel was very kind to use a scanner to make photocopies of each page, and then use an optical character reader to convert the scanned image into a text document. The OCR is not 100% accurate, since some letters might occasionally be misinterpreted by the machine, or a fly-speck might be interpreted as an alphanumeric character. Ken Conklin therefore personally proofread each article and corrected the errors generated by the OCR.
Most articles are made available in two formats:
(1) A pdf file which shows the article as it originally appeared in the reprint. The pdf is a perfect representation of the format of the original article, so it is easy to see the layout of each page, how the footnotes were organized, and (rarely) any pictures that were included. However, the pdf version includes those occasional uncorrected errors generated by the OCR. In addition, the pdf file cannot easily be copied or pasted as text, and cannot be searched for keywords.
(2) A simple-text document contains the text of the article, without any pictures, and with somewhat different formatting. Footnote numerals are not raised, there are no italics, page numbers may be indicated by manual insertions not present in the original document. However, the simple-text version has the advantage that OCR errors have been corrected, the text can be searched for keywords, and the text can easily be copied and pasted.
Many thanks to Jere Krischel for his invaluable assistance with this project.
In May 2009 Ken Conklin scanned his article from 1972 entitled "The Three-Year BA.: Boon or Bust?" but it is available only in simple-text format. In June 2009 "The Mathematics Teacher" journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics was kind enough to send a pdf of an article from November 1981 entitled "Using Determinants and Computers to Recognize Dependent and Inconsistent Linear Systems"; and that article is available only in pdf format because numerous equations and determinants make it too difficult to offer in simple text. 14 articles are now available; more might be added in the future.

Only a pdf version is available, because complex formatting of numerous equations, and fractions composed of determinants, make it unwise to offer a simple-text version.
