9780265810545: A Collection of Mathematical Computer Routines (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

A practical library of mathematical computer routines for the IBM 7094, with ready-to-run code in FORTRAN II and FAP.

This collection presents routines for core numerical tasks such as solving systems of linear equations, computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors, evaluating special functions, and handling polynomial roots. It explains language choices, including translations from ALGOL 60 and adaptations from Los Alamos materials, and notes when the FAP version is preferred for performance.

  • Learn how to compute Bessel and gamma functions, elliptic integrals, and polynomial roots.
  • See routines for matrix operations, including inverses, factorizations, and eigen problems.
  • Discover how the library handles numeric routines, system calls, and built-in functions on the 7094.
  • Understand when to use FORTRAN II versus FAP versions and how to run experiments with the routines.
Ideal for readers of historical computing methods, numerical analysis students, and programmers exploring legacy mathematical libraries.
