Out of 4 different Numerical Analysis books I get 3 different spellings: 1.) Nicolson (two books agree on this spelling) 2.) Nicholson 3.) Nickolson And none of the 4 texts give a reference for the development of the scheme. So if some kind and learned soul could a.) direct me to the correct spelling of Nic(h,k?)olson and b.) Point me to a reference for the development of the method, I would be forever grateful...Well grateful for at least a week anyway. --MORE--(?%)--MORE--(84%) sci.math.num-analysis #27103 (13 + 124 more) (1)+-[1] From: Ron Winther \-[1]--[1] Newsgroups: sci.math.num-analysis [1] Re: Crank-Nicolson...Spell Nicolson?

Now that we agree about Nicolson (at least in: Crank-Nicolson) for a couple of decades, can we also observe the correct spelling of Willem's name: Hundsdorfer?! -- --Jan Kok E-mail: Jan.Kok@cwi.nl | =#===-=========##= Address: CWI (dpt.
