Mathematical Software deals with software designed for mathematical applications such as Fortran, CADRE, SQUARS, and DESUB. The distribution and sources of mathematical software are discussed, along with number representation and significance monitoring. User-modifiable software and non-standard arithmetic programs are also considered. Comprised of nine chapters, this volume begins with a historical background in the form of a chronological list of events that trace the development of computing in general and mathematical software in particular. The next chapter examines where and how mathematical software is being created and how it is being disseminated to eventual consumers. A number of important shortcomings are identified. The future of mathematical software and the challenges facing mathematical software are then discussed. Subsequent chapters focus on the point of view of people outside the professional community of mathematical software; the monitoring of significance in computation and its relation to number representation; libraries of mathematical software; and the automation of numerical analysis. Eleven algorithms for numerical quadrature are also compared. This book should be of considerable interest to students and specialists in the fields of mathematics and computer science.

Update your Android Studio skills and build modern Android applications using Kotlin Key Features Set up Android development and testing environments Gain core knowledge of the Kotlin programming language Study the design of Android applications and its user interfaces in-depth Book Description The popularity of Kotlin as an Android-compatible language keeps growing every day. This book will help you build your own Android applications using Kotlin. Android Studio 3.6 Development Essentials – Kotlin Edition first shows you how to install Android development and test environments on different operating systems. Next, you will create an Android app and a virtual device in Android Studio and install an Android application on an emulator. You will test apps on emulators and on physical Android devices. Next, you'll explore the features of Android Studio 3.6, Android 10, and Android architecture. The focus then shifts to the Kotlin language. You'll be given an overview of Kotlin, and practice converting code from Java to Kotlin. You'll also explore data types, operators, expressions, loops, functions, and the basics of OOP in Kotlin. The book will then cover Android Jetpack and how to create an example app project using the ViewModel component. You'll study advanced topics such as views and widget implementation, multi-window support integration, and biometric authentication. Finally, you will learn to upload your app to the Google Play Console and handle the build process with Gradle. By the end of this book, you will have gained the knowledge and skills required to develop powerful Android applications using Kotlin. What you will learn Build reliable apps with less error-prone code using Kotlin Use Java-based Android libraries in Kotlin Reduce the amount of code using Android Jetpack Explore unique ways to handle single and multi-touch events Use Gesture libraries to implement gesture and pinch recognition systems Increase your app visibility with app links Who this book is for This book is ideal for anyone who wants to learn how to develop powerful Android Applications using Kotlin and Android Studio 3.6. A basic understanding of Kotlin and Android SDK is recommended.
