I have in my hands a set of small BASIC programs which are intended to
demonstrate that BASIC can be utilized for various small and useful
nontrivial tasks at work: simple numerical analysis, statistical math,
the simulation of some systems, the computation of functions with their
Taylor series.

I have ordered the BBC BASIC from Rakewell but have not yet received it.

If Dr Russell is interested, I could convert these programs into the BBC
BASIC and contribute them, of course giving the full copyright rights to
the receiver.

kind regards, Mr Antti J. Ylikoski (MSc in Computer Science, PhD student)
