This book is a self-contained text on the Pascal programming language that will be of great interest to science and technology students, scientists, and engineers, who will appreciate the clarity and facility of Pascal. Its emphasis on scientific problems is unique. Every aspect of Pascal programming is illustrated and applied (including graphics, DOS, BIOS, and mouse programming) through hundreds of worked examples and exercises culled from the numerical analysis and algorithm literature. All of the book's programs have been tested, and they are listed in a clear, uncluttered format. The...

Preface Objectives of This Book To teach calculus as a laboratory science, with the computer and software as the lab, and to use this lab as an essential tool in learning and using calculus. To present calculus and elementary differential equations with a minimum of fuss-through practice, not theory. To stress ideas of calculus, applications, and problem solving, rather than definitions, theorems, and proofs. Toemphasize numerical aspects: approximations, order of magnitude, concrete answers to problems. To organize the topics consistent with the needs of students in their concurrent science...
