- There is a QuickBasic version of Numerical Recipes, authored by
- Julius (Julian?) Sprott, and available from Cambridge University
- Press. This includes the example book, for about $35, and the disk
- with the software, for about $35. The text that accompanies the
- softwares can be had from the Fortran/C editions of the textbook;
- there is no Basic version of it. Virtually all of the most common
- matrix operations are facilitated by this software, as well as
- several statistical operations. In addition, you will have signal
- analysis, differential equation solution, special functions,
- eigensystem analysis, and some other stuff I can't think of off the
- top of my head.
-
- BTW, this software is a translation of the older, Ver. 1 Numerical
- Recipes, and not the just published 2nd Edition. No doubt the
- QuickBasic stuff will be in the stores within a year or two.
