Tandy/Radio Shack Book:: 57 Practical Programs and Games in BASIC (1978)(Tab Books)

Preface We collected the programs in this book to address the continuing need for readily available and easy-to-use computer programs that do something useful. The supply of such programs has not kept pace with the demand. The the number of computer users is growing at an astounding rate, thanks chiefly to the availability of inexpensive small computers. An increasing number of these people, many of them first time users, are interested only in the practical aspects of computing. Today, those who view the computer solely as a means of entertainment are few and far between. While more practical programs are now available, many contributed by new users, there just aren't enough. And those that do exist are hard to find. So we brought together in this book forty relatively short programs covering a wide range of practical applications. Contents Income Averaging 1 Current Value of a Treasury Bill 14 Accrued Interest on Bonds 16 Continuous Interest Compounding 19 Rule of 78's Interest 21 Present Value of a Tax Deduction 23 Future Value of an Investment (Uneven Cash Flow) 25 Net Present Value of an Investment 27 Lease/Buy Decision 29 Syndicated Investment Analysis 32 Depreciation Switch 38 Apportionment by Ratios 40 Internal Rate of Return 43 Financial Management Rate of Return 46 Financial Statement Ratio Analysis 50 Profit Sharing Contributions Checkbook Reconciliation Home Budgeting 65 Critical Path Method (CPM) Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) 86 Transportation Algorithm 93 Swedish Machine (Queuing Theory) 103 Markov Analysis 110 Nonlinear Break-Even Analysis 118 Payoff Matrix Analysis 122 Bayesian Decision Analysis 127 Economic Order Quantity 131 Economic Production Quantity Statistical Estimation Theory 138 Statistics 142 Unbiased Estimator of Standard Deviation 149 Chi-Square 151 Data Forecasting Divergence 155 Newtonian Interpolation 158 Lagrangian Interpolation 161 Sums of Powers 165 Factorials 167 Temperature Conversion 169 Numeric Base Conversion 171 Musical Transposition 174 Appendix 177 1981, OSBORNE/McGraw-Hill Edited by Lon Poole

Practical Basic Programs Apple II Edition Steven Cook, Martin McNiff, and Robert Thomson conceived, designed, wrote, and tested many of these programs, and prepared the final write-ups and program listings for publication in the original Osborne book, Practical BASIC Programs. Dr. Samuel H. Westerman provided the concepts, designs, and initial program listings for 18 of these programs: Income Averaging, Continuous Interest Compounding, Depreciation Switch, Apportionment by Ratios, Profit Sharing Contributions, Statistical Estimation Theory, Statistics, Unbiased Estimator of Standard Deviation, Chi-Square, Data Forecasting Divergence, Newtonian Interpolation, Lagrangian Interpolation, Sums of Powers, Factorials, Temperature Conversion, and Musical Transposition. He also provided source material for the write-ups for the 18 programs. Richard E. Beckwith, Ph.D., provided the concept, design, program code, and write-up for the program Swedish Machine (Queuing Theory).  George M. Blake suggested programs Accrued Interest on Bonds and Current Value of a Treasury Bill. The programs were converted to Apple II by Cynthia Greever.

57 Practical Programs & Games in BASIC These programs are intended for the computer hobbyist or user who has access to a computer system with standard BASIC language available. The various programs are written in such a manner that they will operate even with a simplified subset of full BASIC. The advanced programmer, with full BASIC available, can easily modify the programs to take advantage of the functions and capabilities of the full instruction set.
