5.0 out of 5 stars
Overall useful reference!
Since all the source code is available on the accompanying disk, this is an overall hard to find reference for those looking for technical programming. The procedures may need some editing depending on the specific application. Recommended!

Can there be a 0 star rating?
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,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mathematical Algorithms in Visual Basic for Scientists & Engineers (Programming Tools for Scientists & Engineers) (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,
By John Havener (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mathematical Algorithms in Visual Basic for Scientists & Engineers (Programming Tools for Scientists & Engineers) (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.

Errors in code listings and no comments to help correct them,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mathematical Algorithms in Visual Basic for Scientists & Engineers (Programming Tools for Scientists & Engineers) (Paperback)
Too many code errors and very little help on how to correct them. The theory behind the code is extremely sketchy. Hence, the main reason to buy this book would be the included diskette containing the mathematical algorithms, but those too are erroneous. Suggest writing routines for oneself rather than investing in this book.

Relatively nice book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mathematical Algorithms in Visual Basic for Scientists & Engineers (Programming Tools for Scientists & Engineers) (Paperback)
Before using algorithms one should check code first. Otherwise pretty nice solutions. Recommendable for reading.
