Today a friend living in Finland sent me this fascinating reference on hash tables by Bob Jenkins:

It demonstrates to me that just when you think you know something about a subject, you find out you don’t know much at all.  For links to other interesting math subjects also visit Bob’s website (Thanks Bob):

Now that I’ve gotten past VSAM insert support using AVL trees, and I don’t want to start anything too big before next week’s SHARE conference, I plan to submit solutions to the ZMFACC problems with no solutions yet, and post the next problem on best transparent compression/decompression routines.
