For new readers and those who request to be “好友 good friends” ,  please read my 公告栏 first. 

I was just informed today by Research Gate that my research  papers have been cited over 10,000 times by other scholars https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Y-C_Ho . I have no idea what this means but nevertheless is something  that warms my old heart on a cold winter day.

Note added 12/6/2105 Thanks to a suggestion by reader 孟永涛, I searched Goodle Scholar and found my citation count to be 17956, a difference of almost 8000. The major contributer is the citation of the book with A.E. Bryson which has a citation  count of 10000+. No wonder it is a citation classic according to SCI.

Note added 1/21/2019. For the weeks ending 1/13/2019 and 1./20/2019 I was informed by Research Gate that our book topped the citation count of papers. Most gratifying for a 50 year old text book. .
