The Parlett Landis Algorithms

The computing algorithms I co-authored with Prof. Beresford Parlett back in 1982 are available here: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0024379582900994 The paper has been cited by something like 25 journal articles.

Entrance and plotql

I co-developed the open source program Entrance with my good friend, Shane Duan. The Entrance web site is here: http://dbentrance.com/. An Ignite! talk I gave at the 2010 MySQL User Conference, “Painting Data With Entrance and MySQL”, is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Puruk-hkf0

The Entrance plotql language combines SQL and chart setup commands in a single script language. The plotql document is here: http://dbentrance.com/newdocs/en/plotsyntax.html Many of the keyword descriptions link back to examples in the Entrance blog.
