WANTED: More Contributions

If anyone has information about sources I haven't mentioned here I'd appreciate hearing about them. You can reach me electronically or by fax or conventional mail. If you can offer a more complete review of any of the items I've mentioned I'd be delighted to have it. Likewise, if you feel that the description of any of the items currently listed is in error, please let me know.

Thanks to Those Who've Helped

Several people have contributed time, effort, and most of all new sources to this collection. I'd like to say thank you to...

• Dag Hovden, for the pointer to the MathPak/87 library
• Heiner Berlejung, for the information about Pascal-XSC
• Michael Beck, for tips about the Engel and Miller texts, and for numerous other very useful pointers
• Stefan Hoffmeister, for TParser, pointers to fsUltra, ChroMathsome and a host of other sites, and for several valuable suggestions on improving the page
• Barry McKenna, for the detective work involved in reestablishing the link to the Techniques of Scientific Computing page
• Bob Lee and Johan (last name unknown), who together helped retrieve the text version of the MacMathPascal package from an ancient MacIntosh binary file format.
• Paul Victor Birke for alerting me to the Lastman & Sinha text
• Brady Battad and John Kaster, for the all of their assistance in setting up the mirror of this site on the Borland Community Homepages site
• Andrew Rybenkov, for his translations of Russian websites into English

Site Locations & Mirrors

Thanks to the hard work of Brady Battad and John Kaster, and to the generosity of Borland International, the Numerical Methods in Pascal website is mirrored on the Borland community homepages

For now anyway, the official residence of the Numerical Methods in Pascal site is http://www-rab.larc.nasa.gov/nmp/fNMPhome.htm

The Borland mirror site address is http://homepages.borland.com/nmp/fNMPhome.htm

Page Design

In designing this site I hope to to simultaneously

• maximize the amount of information delivered,
• minimize your download time, and
• make it easy to bookmark any section(s) of interest.

In attempting to achieve these presumably laudable but probably wholly unrealistic goals, I have thus far avoided the use of graphic images (almost) everywhere except on this page. Here, however, you're likely to find anything, as this is the place where I perform all sorts of ugly HTML experiments. Fortunately, most of these are never seen by the general public.

Targeted Browsers

I'd really like to have this site be easily readable as designed by any browser out there...and I've tested it using Netscape 4.7, Internet Explorer 5.x, Opera 6.01, Mozilla 1.4, and Firebird 0.7. If you're using something different and anything appears to render incorrectly, please let me know.
