title: Fast floating-point processing in Common Lisp

authors: Fateman, Richard J.

subjects: C programming language

abstract: Lisp, one of the oldest higher-level programming languages, has rarely been used for fast numerical (floatingpoint) computation. We explore the benefits of Common Lisp, an emerging new language standard with some excellent implementations, for numerical computation. We compare it to Fortran in terms of the speed of efficiency of generated code, as well as the structure and convenience of the language. There are a surprising number of advantages to Lisp, especially in cases where a mixture of symbolic and numeric processing is needed.

title: Prospectors and investors in the Te Aroha mining district during the 1930s

authors: Hart, Philip

abstract: This paper gives the ages, occupations, normal place of residence, mining experience, and other details that have been unearthed about all the men who acquired prospecting licenses and of five men who prospected for others during the Depression, with the exception of Malcolm Hardy and those associated with him, covered in another paper. Sometimes a mini-biography can be given, but usually the available information permits only a skeletal outline of their lives. Few had experience of mining, and in almost all cases their prospecting or investing reflected a desperate attempt to make some money at a time of considerable financial hardship. Their often-feeble attempts at prospecting or arranging for prospecting to be done produced no new discoveries and no ore of any value.
 Their lives and details of the extent of their involvement in mining are dealt with in alphabetical order.
