Register or Login to view.Only one section is dedicated to the VMS - that is, the last section 4.22 of the chapter. It is only nine page long, with one page dedicated to problems for students and two pages - to scans of two folios of the VMS. That is not what I expected from what I read about this book in the Internet - I expected much more volume to be dedicated to the VMS. However, the actual state of things is reasonable - the whole book is dedicated to solving tasks with computer, so the VMS is just one interesting illustration or application. It is not subject to any dedicated focus neither in the book on the whole , nor even in the chapter 4.
That said, four pages are dedicated to the brief history of the VMS (with focus on the names of Dee and R. Bacon) and the attempts to analyse it (Newbold, Brumbaugh). The names of Yardley, Friedman and Tiltman are mentioned, as well as articles of Oneil (sic!), Friedman and Tiltman.
So only three pages are left for the discussion of the statistical properties of the VMS, which is much less than I expected.
Any chance you could scan these pages (or at least the three most relevant ones) and upload them somewhere? I know they're probably still copyrighted but I think you could call it "fair use".
Sam, for your info... quoting a short paragraph, with attribution, might be considered "fair use" but uploading three out of four pages (a substantial portion of the original) is not.
