The Universal Equation Solver

Fülszöveg

About This Book:-
Equation solving is an art or science needed by many categories of people. Engineers, Technologists, Scientists, Mathematicians, Financiers, Researchers, Teachers or Students. In fact, anyone who needs to solve equations rapidly and precisely.
But, most books concerned with numerical methods are understandable only to the elite: the high priests of mathematics. The books are truly vast, containing a wealth of specialised techniques.
This book proposes, in simple terms, a new easy to understand, method which will solve equations encountered in any field of endeavour, either of the simple F(X)=0 type, or simultaneous or complex types. The equations can be linear, polynominal, transcendental or differential. The roots can be positive, negative, very large or small, multiple, very close together, real or complex. Singularities are also precisely determined.
The new method is presented with a series of program listings for Apple and BBC computers.
