Quick BASIC Programming for Scientists and Engineers

About this book

QuickBASIC Programming for Scientists and Engineers teaches computer programming from the ground up with Microsoft QuickBASIC a modern fast easy-to-learn programming language. Examples used throughout the book are useful for students and professionals in chemistry physics and engineering. The book covers the basics and then proceeds to more sophisticated programs using a disk (enclosed with the book) containing pretested procedures for important operations such as Graphing (screen printers plotters) Data entry/edit/save/retrieve File management Linear regression Nonlinear regression Cubic spline interpolation Romberg integration Differential equations Fourier transform. With these routines you get many of the advantages of a spreadsheet but with a simpler more powerful programming language. QuickBASIC Programming for Scientists and Engineers shows you what these routines do and how to use them effectively. Because the book provides the source code you can even customize these routines to suit your specific needs. The modules disk runs on any IBM or compatible microcomputer with a graphics board 640K RAM DOS 3.0 or higher and a copy of Microsoft QuickBASIC (version 4.0 or higher). The book is perfect for any scientist or engineering professional who needs to learn QuickBASIC programming quickly and easily.
