Patterson Peaks:  
 

Welcome.... to the Patterson Peaks homepage.

The day we were waiting for was Saturday, February 13, 1999, when I loaded the entire first printing of Patterson Peaks into my car and took them down to Polycrystal Book Service in Dayton, Ohio. Wade and Mert Adams and I unloaded the 13 cartons of books, did some celebrating, took photos of ourselves with the books and of me autographing a few copies, and began to apply the ISBN/price labels to prepare the books for shiping to Polycrystal's customers.

These pages are intended to serve as a convenient additional way to communicate information about Patterson Peaks. An On-Line "Brief Teaching Edition" of Patterson Peaks is also available to use.

The following list shows the information we now (or are planning to) make available over the Internet:

  • Errata (Yes, I do fear there may be a typo or two!)
  • PATPKS-PS Fortran computer program used to generate the Patterson Peaks Tables [projected to be available after the 2000 ACA Meeting in St. Paul, MN (22-27 July), but temporarily put 'on hold' due to the sale of Polycrystal Book Service]
  • Symmetry data file used to generate the Patterson Peaks Tables [projected to be available after the 2000 ACA Meeting in St. Paul, MN (22-27 July), but temporarily put 'on hold' due to the sale of Polycrystal Book Service]

If there is anything else you feel should be made available on these web pages, please let me know (contact information given on "Errata" page). In the meantime, Patterson Peaks is now available through Polycrystal Book Service [http://www.polycbs.com/, or polycbs@polycbs.com].
