> Fortran has a relatively simple relation to mathematical formulae. >You write the formula on paper and then transcribe it more or less >directly into your program; ... Have I missed the latest release of FORTRAN? The last time I tried to use differentiation operators, sparse matrices, set operations, big integers, power series, or quaternions, the FORTRAN compiler was rather confused. When I want to transcribe mathematical formulae, I use Mathematica. Arch D. Robison robison@shell.com
