| Sep 6 at 13:17 | comment | added | Oliver Nash | @coudy The factor of 5 is there "for historical reasons". In other words, Klein put it in and when I wrote these notes I decided to make it easy for people to compare my formulae with his so I kept it. As to why Klein included it, I'm afraid I don't know (I may once have known ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). | |

Fix broken links, pasting in some more details while I'm at it.
