should add some important geometrical constructs such as besecting an angle, calculating the golden ratio, finding the centre of a polygon


I added "wait-free synchronization" to the list. I didn't even know it was possible until 2004. I stuck it at 1991, since that's the earliest paper I've seen so far:

Wait-Free Synchronization by Maurice Herlihy (1993) http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/herlihy93waitfree.html (Is this the same as "Wait-Free Synchronization" by Maurice Herlihy (1991) _ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems_ January 1991 ? ) http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WaitFreeSynchronization

If anyone knows an earlier reference, please tell me and/or fix the article and drop a reference here. -- DavidCary 05:21, 30 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
