[sdiy] Analog Computers, Rocket City

[David G Dixon]

Just as an aside, I was just looking this book up on Amazon, and I realized
that these are the same Korns who compiled the Mathematical Handbook for
Scientists and Engineers.  This is a major tome which was one of the
standard math references for technical professionals for many years.  My
wife's uncle, who was a senior engineer for Chrysler in Ohio, gave me his
beloved copy several years ago.
