Re: Inductance and the acceleration of charge

I second that statement! It is the "bible" for inductance 
calculations. I got my copy after Pauls work with the TSSP and Geotc 
(because I wanted to understand "how" Paul pulled Grover into Geotc 
from a code writing perspective). I had to figure out the 
interpolation method which is something I had not done before, but 
after I understood, it all worked out perfect. I still remember the 
grin on my face when I used a pencil and paper on the first 
calculation I had selected. It amazes me how much time and effort 
must have been made to derive the tables and methods for such a 
dynamic array of geometry.

Take care,
Bart
