BASIC Programming for the I. B. M. Personal Computer

This is a serious book on applications programming using the IBM PC and Microsoft BASIC. No particular mathematical sophistication beyond introductory algebra is required, and most examples are selected primarily from business, but any student will be familiar enough with the concepts to get on to the computer quickly. The text offers many fully documented techniques, including information processing, which illustrate the concepts of "prototyping" and "iterative refinement". Important features include review quizzes - with answers at chapter ends - and a large number of programming problems with data and corresponding correct output.
