Re: Runge-Kutta

I've always pronounced it:  Run Gay, Koo Tuh, but that's because I never
asked anyone else, nor did I know their complete names.  Now that I see the
complete names, I suspect that Runge is more like Run jay.  I'll just blame
it on "East Texas" accent...(In other words, don't take my sense of
pronunciation  seriously). Karl
