Preparation of the table just described, which shows input-output relations in current money values is only the first step of Leonteif's analysis. The second step is to "invert the matrix," producing a table of coefficients that shows the amounts of every other product required to bring into existance a dollar's worth of any given product...
From this second table forecasts can be made of the effect throughout all industries of a change in demand for the produce of one industry. The statistical computations for "inverting the matrix" are multitudinous and require the solution of so many simultaneous equations that electronic computers must be used. Presently the Research Project is using a Univac and an IBM 650. Calculations on household consumption are being made with M.I.T...
Defining Grace as God's "will-to-the-restoration, fulfillment, and blessedness of man," and Nature as "man in his actuality in the matrix of nature and in the human community of his fellows," Sittler drew a sharp distinction between "verification-as-proof" and "as-authentication."

Matrix Structures Inc. has the answer for spring escapism: Back to nature via the egg--a geodesical one with a tough vinyl plastic shell...
