Referee's # 1 comments
Your research topic and the explicit formulas you
present for n-fold multiple definite integrals and
based on them those for definite summation are
certainly rather unique.
Nevertheless, if the formulae (1)... would have been
proven, your results could be qualified as good for
the mathematical data base extension of computer
algebra systems. Indeed, the internal built-in
algorithms, for example, in Maple are failed to
compute the sums (I)-(X) of Sect.6.

Referee's # 3 comments for the author paper 020
You sent me an interesting paper on the subject of
multiple integration. It turns out, as I suspected,
that many of the integrals can also be obtained and
generalized via Meijer G functions.

In my opinion, good teamwork should be supported by good parlance. That is
why special efforts of 3000+ hours were paid to improve my written / spoken
English before sending this application to Wolfram Research, Inc.
Performed all preparatory work for immediate translation of GENIUS: Richard
Feynman and modern physics by James Gleick (670 pp).
Read classic & modern English belles-lettres in the original (Bradbury,
Stevenson, Kipling, London, Asimov, O. Henry, Wilde, Poe, Chandler, Conan
Doyle).
Constant reader of New York Times at www.nytimes.com
