Farina

This book is a complete self-teaching description of the BASIC time-sharing language as it is used on teletype machines linked to computers by telephone lines. OUTSTANDING FEATURES: Written in easy-to-understand style with a minimum of technical terms Extended features soon to be implemented are included in the text Material is organized logically into 25 lessons An actual program example is shown from its conception to final results Actual computer print-outs are reproduced. Published 1968 164 pages

SYSTEM SIMULATION by Geoffrey Gordon

This book concerns the techniques of simulation as applied to both continuous and discrete systems, and compares those techniques with other methods of problem-solving. OUTSTANDING FEATURES include: Programmed examples fully worked out in six different simulation languages Illustrated with complete examples drawn from a variety of applications A detailed discrete system example: first solved by hand calculations and later by FORTRAN and two discrete simulation languges (GPSS and SIMSCRIPT) The technique of Industrial Dynamics as applied to business systems The probability and statistics theory involved in the construction of models and in the analysis of simulation results Examples of applications drawn from a variety of fields: engineering, biology, economics, business systems, switching systems and inventory control. Published 1969 320 pages

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE/ONE, 2nd Edition by Frank Bates and Mary L. Douglas

This new Second Edition retains all the highly-readable extras of the First, while exploring the many new concepts that have emerged in the past three years. OUTSTANDING FEATURES: Analyzes computer programming in general, with particular attention paid to the PL/1 programming Emphasizes the distinction between physical and logical program structure Shows how various features of the program can be used to solve different versions of the same problems Covers storage classes, dynamic storage allocation, and stor- age management techniques Introduces pointers and based variables, and describes them in terms of a practical applicationan airline reservation system.
