Overview

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 book includes a diskette with all of the program code printed in the text, answers to exercises, additional programs, and useful data files. The programs are written for the Borland Pascal compiler on the MS-DOS platform.

This revised edition is a self-contained treatment of the PASCAL programming language. It is unique because of the scientific nature of many of its examples. Every aspect of PASCAL is illustrated and applied through hundreds of examples and exercises, all thoroughly worked through by the author, who is widely recognized in his field.
