Photon Structure Functions: 1978 AND 2005

Abstract

I describe the early days of the photon structure functions. In particular I discuss the parton model result of Walsh and Zerwas (1973), leading order QCD calculation of Witten (1976) and next-to-leading QCD calculation of Bardeen and myself (1978). A very brief summary of the progress made from 1978 until 2005 is also given.
