Beyond the traditional 'Rithmetic (taught alongside Reading and 'Riting)
lurks more complicated mathematics. Imaginary numbers combine with their real
counterparts to form complex numbers. Simultaneous equations are represented
and solved through matrix manipulation. Numbers (real, imaginary, and complex)
are raised to powers and roots.
If none of the above makes any sense to you, then you probably won't find a
use for this program. However, if you understand the purpose of mathematical
operations such as these, but find the calculations themselves to be rather
tedious, then this program should be helpful. It will perform arithmetic
operations on complex numbers, solve polynomial equations and systems of
simultaneous equations, perform matrix operations, and other similar
mathematical operations.
Note that this program doesn't do calculus; if you need to compute integrals
or solve differential equations, you'll need a different program for that. But
if your needs are purely algebraic, you'll probably find the functions you need
here.
To run this program outside the BIG BLUE DISK menu, type: ^1PASRUN ATOOLBOX^0.
^1NOTE^0: For some unknown reason, this program won't run correctly from the
BIG BLUE DISK menu on some machines, primarily 80286 systems (AT or compatible).
On most such systems, it will run correctly from DOS. Also, try removing any
memory-resident software you may have loaded, and if you're using a boot-up menu
program like EasyMenu, try booting a plain DOS disk without it. Memory-resident
programs and DOS menus may interfere with this program. (We have no idea why
this interference occurs with this program and not others, but we'll report on
it if we ever find out.)
