(ii) in the United States, the members of the Applied Mathematics Division of the
Argonne National Laboratory who have taken such an interest in the algorithms,
and Stephen Nash who has pointed out a number of errors and faults; and
(iii) in Canada, the members of the Economics Branch of Agriculture Canada for
presenting me with such interesting problems to solve, Kevin Price for careful and
detailed criticism, Bob Henderson for trying out most of the algorithms, Richard
Wang for pointing out several errors in chapter 8, John Johns for trying (and
finding errors in) eigenvalue algorithms, and not least Mary Nash for a host of
corrections and improvements to the book as a whole.
It is a pleasure to acknowledge the very important roles of Neville Goodman
and Geoff Amor of Adam Hilger Ltd in the realisation of this book.
