Mark S. Johnson asks, >Is there any source code available to the public demonstrating >numerical methods in Smalltalk? Take a look at Dusko Savic's"Object Oriented Programming in Smalltalk/V" New York: Ellis Horwood, 1990. ISBN 0-13-040692-9. There is a 50 page chapter on using Smalltalk/V for numerical mathematics, with lots of sample code. It includes methods for statistics, and code to solve various classes of differential equations. The chapter on graphics begins with a discussion of matrices, and goes on to provide code for manipulating both 2D and 3D matrices. The application examples are for doing things like rotating objects in 3D space. I just bought this book, so I can't comment on how it feels to try and use it as a guide to learning. But there certainly is a lot of code. I'd like to know if there is a way to obtain it electronically. I'll surely suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome if I type all this stuff in. - Marc Rettig Summer Institute of Linguistics marc@txsil.lonestar.org
