Dear NA-Netters,

I have completed a 20-page survey "Numerical Analysis", to appear in the forthcoming Princeton Companion to Mathematics. Among other things this essay includes a table of about thirty of the key algorithmic developments in our field. You can find it under "Essays" at my home page, http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/nick.trefethen/. Comments would be welcome.
