Re: Skew Mu

Dear Rod Holland,

I am not quite sure where the term skewed-mu originated, but I am sure it
comes from John Doyle.
The term is used in the Mu-tools Matlab manual from 1995.

However, the use of skewed-mu is much older. In fact, I wrote a program
called fmuscl back in 1985
at Caltech for computing "skewed-mu" (it was called "scaled mu" in those days).

Best regards,
Sigurd Skogestad
