by Mario V. Farina
This book is a complete self-teaching description of the BASIC time-sharing language as it is used
on teletype machines linked to computers by telephone lines.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES: Written in easy-to-understand style with a minimum of technical
terms • “Extended” features soon to be implemented are included in the text • Material is or-
ganized logically into 25 lessons • An actual program example is shown from its conception to fi-
nal results • Actual computer print-outs are reproduced.
Published 1968 164 pages

SYSTEM SIMULATION
by Geoffrey Gordon
This book concerns the techniques of simulation as applied to both continuous and discrete sys-
tems, and compares those techniques with other methods of problem-solving.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES include: Programmed examples fully worked out in six different sim-
ulation languages • Illustrated with complete examples drawn from a variety of applications •
A detailed discrete system example: first solved by hand calculations and later by FORTRAN and
two discrete simulation languges (GPSS and SIMSCRIPT) • The technique of Industrial Dynamics
as applied to business systems • The probability and statistics theory involved in the construction
of models and in the analysis of simulation results • Examples of applications drawn from a vari-
ety of fields: engineering, biology, economics, business systems, switching systems and inventory
control.

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE/ONE, 2nd Edition

by Frank Bates and Mary L. Douglas
This new Second Edition retains all the highly-readable “extras” of the First, while exploring
the many new concepts that have emerged in the past three years.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES: Analyzes computer programming in general, with particular attention
paid to the PL/1 programming • Emphasizes the distinction between physical and logical pro-
gram structure • Shows how various features of the program can be used to solve different ver-
sions of the same problems • Covers storage classes, dynamic storage allocation, and stor- age
management techniques • Introduces pointers and based variables, and describes them in terms
of a practical application—an airline reservation system.
