The title of this section is change to reflect that it moved to beginning of the book. While it moves earlier but the name was not changed. Dr. Menikoff pointed to this inconsistency, and the author is apologizing for this omission.

Several sections were add to this book with many new ideas for example on the moving shock tables. However, this author cannot add all the things that he was asked and want to the book in instant fashion. For example, one of the reader ask why not one of the example of oblique shock was not turn into the explanation of von Neumann paradox. The author was asked by a former client why he didn't insert his improved tank filling and evacuating models (the addition of the energy equation instead of isentropic model). While all these requests are important, the time is limited and they will be inserted as time permitted.

The moving shock issues are not completed and more work is needed also in the shock tube. Nevertheless, the ideas of moving shock will reduced the work for many student of compressible flow. For example solving homework problem from other text books became either just two mouse clicks away or just looking at that the tables in this book. I also got request from a India to write the interface for Microsoft. I am sorry will not be entertaining work for non Linux/Unix systems, especially for Microsoft. If one want to use the software engine it is okay and permitted by the license of this work.
