Page 591, Add comment about Google algorithm:
Google's algorithm for ranking of Web pages
uses a "popularity contest" style of search.
Other iterative ranking methods predate
Google's PageRank algorithm by nearly sixty years.
In his 1941 paper, Nobel Prize winning economist Wassily Leontief
discussed an iterative method for ranking industries.
In 1965, sociologist Charles Hubbell published an iterative
method for ranking people.
Computer scientist Jon Kleingerg developed the
Hypertext Induced Topic algorithm for optimizing Web
information and it was referenced by
Google's Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
See Franceschet~[2010], in which he says that
"PageRank stands on the shoulders of giants."

\footnote\ddag{Gene Howard Golub (1932--2007)
created, with William Kahan, an algorithm for computing
the singular value decomposition.
See Golub and Kahan~[1965].
The SVD algorithm is used in a wide variety of applicatons
such as signal processing, data analysis, and Internet search engines.
Because of the versiltatly of this algorithm, it has been
called the {\sl Swiss Army Knife}
of numerical computations and Gene was fondly known as {\sl Professor SVD}.}

Add footnote:
David M. Young, Jr., (1923-2008) established the mathematical foundation
for the SOR method in his Ph.D. thesis at Harvard University. See Young~[1950].
Every since this ground-breaking research, iterative methods have been used
on a wide range of scientific and engineering applications for solinvg
large sparse systems of linear systems with new many
new iterative methods (a.k.a. {\bf preconditioners}) having been developed.
Young was one of the pioneers in
modern numerical analysis and scientific computing.

Page 687, A.5 Mathematical Induction, New wording:
An important technique in establishing theorems is called
{\bf mathematical inductions}.
This is often used when a proposition is true for all positive
integers. Let $P(n)$ be a proposition that depends on a positive
integer, $n$. We want to establish $P(n)$ for $n=1,2,3,\ldots$.
