- Summary
- The aim of this book is to teach the reader to solve problems with a computer using the BASIC programming language and within the context of a time-sharing system. This text covers both business and scientific areas and is ideal for engineers, scientists, students, and businessmen. The average college freshman or high school senior should be able to learn and write simple programs in BASIC with about four hours of training, studying, and doing the exercises. The only version of BASIC discussed is the General Electric BASIC language.
