Product Description
Product Description
This book/disk offers scientists, engineers, statisticians and programmers a toolbox of numerical routines in Visual Basic. The routines support number-crunching applications that run in Windows. Each chapter briefly describes the numerical analysis algorithms covered in the chapter; discusses the implementation of the related Visual Basic code; presents the code for the individual routines, with comments outlining the purpose, the role of the parameters, error handling and other features; supplies brief test programs; and includes text boxes and icons to highlight tips, tricks and warnings, where appropriate. The disk features all the mathematical routines explained in the book.

Recognised as a seminal work in its field by engineers and scientists alike, this is without a doubt a must-have for antiquarians with an interest in the historical development of mathematical algorithms, particularly with respect to, though by no means limited to, Visual Basic. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Can there be a 0 star rating?
11 Dec 1998
Format:Paperback
I bought this book because it includes a source disk and I did'nt want to reinvent the wheel in BASIC. What a drag to debug this code to get the calculations correct. It would have been faster for me to write it up from scratch!
There are no meaningful comments in the code nor any clue in the text.
A complete waste of time and money.

This a book for Basic not Visual Basic
13 Nov 1997
Format:Paperback
The title indicates the book uses Visual Basic. The back covers says programs will also run in Qbasic. This was a great programming language, but this book fails to use any of the modern programming features of Visual Basic. A real disappointment.

Mathematical Algorithms in Visual Basic
19 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
Exactly the algorithms I need and wanted. Unfortunately, the VB forms were shipped in binary form and can not be used with VB 6, which is what I have. What a bummer to have the code, but be unable to use it.
