In FGDP
I used R(Z) to denote a reflection seismogram,
an impedance function,
and a spectrum with autocorrelation coefficients rt.
I liked this classic notation,
which was used by the mathematicians
Wiener and Levinson.
It is confusing, however, to use in one equation
rt both for the causal, one-sided, reflection seismogram
and for the two-sided autocorrelation.
Thus I have introduced S, which is a natural notation for spectrum,
although s is admittedly less natural for autocorrelation.
