✦ Synopsis

I am grateful to John Brillhart for translating Chapter 19 from blue ditto into (\mathcal{A}{\mathcal{M}}^{\mathcal{Y}-\mathrm{T}{\mathrm{E}} \mathrm{X} . \mathrm{I}}) have edited out some obvious typographical errors and aligned some inconsistencies in notation. Otherwise, Leonard's original presentation and notation have been scrupulously preserved. While reading Chapter 19, one should bear in mind that it was not designed for publication in a journal. 1 urge you, the reader, to regard it as a "working paper" that one of your colleagues has prepared as an introduction to some of his/her recent work. Finally, the editors of Finite Fields and Their Applications and I owe a special word of thanks to Dinesh Thakur for reminding us of the importance of Chapter 19 and urging its publication in this special issue.
