This report concerns the use of the Hurwitz determinants in defining boundaries of regions where oscillatory phenomena are to be stable or unstable. A simplification is suggested as an aid in reducing the computations usually required, although it is emphasized that point checks in the various regions defined are required using the complete set of Hurwitz determinants or some other complete stability determination.
