Dear Paul, You wrote: The Monk-Cartwright method is the best, but somewhat inaccessible for most mortals, though it works as well for flows as for elevations - see Philosophical Transactions. Can you give a more precise reference? Or perhaps some hint? As I understand you refer to some article in Philosophical Transactions (Of what? Of the Royal society? Of London Math society?) Who are the authors, what is the year? I am especially interested because there was a famous mathematician whose name was Mary Cartwright but I never knew that she worked on tides (if this is she, not another person with the same name). Alex.
