Note: The foregoing is subject to revision, and the Editors welcome suggestions for
enhancements, in the form of keywords, alternative groupings, etc. We are aware of the
increased need for good topic indexing, on the multi-dimensional parametric principle, and
hope eventually to be able to produce an integrated parametric index of all entries still
currently valid (perhaps with some updating) from earlier editions, as well as the current
one. Feedback should go to Dr Roy Johnston at [email protected]
