There are some interesting and notable exceptions.  I call your attention
to articles in the conference proceedings for APL92.

%T Differential Equations are Recurrence Relations in APL
%A Richard D. Neidinger
%P 165-174

%T An APL Tool Box for Inverstigation Schwarz Methods
%A Christoph Pospiech
%P 183-193

%T Globally Convergent Iterative Zero-Finding Using APL
%A Tien Chi Chen
%P 52-61

%T An interactive approach for extending IEEE Arithmetic: Auxiliary Processor AP87
%A Willi Hahn and Karlheinz Mohr
%P 88-93

All four of these are from 

%B APL92 Conference Proceedings
%D July, 1992
%E Lynne C. Shaw
%I Association for Computing Machinery
%C New York
%J APL Quote Quad
