C-XSC is a tool for the development of numerical algorithms delivering highly accurate and automatically verified results. It provides a large number of predefined numerical data types and operators. These types are implemented as C++ classes. Thus, C-XSC allows high-level programming of numerical applications in C and C++. The most important features of C-XSC are: real, complex, interval, and complex interval arithmetic; dynamic vectors and matrices; subarrays of vectors and matrices; dotprecision data types, predefined arithmetic operators with maximum accuracy; standard functions of high accuracy; multiple precision arithmetic and standard functions; rounding control for I/O data; error handling, and library of problem solving routines with automatic result verification. Thus, C-XSC makes the computer more powerful concerning the arithmetic. C-XSC is immediately usable by C programmers, easy to learn, user-extendable, and may also be combined with other tools. The book can be used as a textbook and as a reference manual. It consists of an introduction to advanced computer arithmetic, a chapter describing the programming languages C and C++, the major chapter "C-XSC Reference," sample programs, and indices.

The programming language PASCAL-XSC (PASCAL eXtension for Scientific Computation) significantly simplifies programming in the area of scientific and technical computing. PASCAL-XSC provides a large number of predefined data types with arithmetic operators and predefined functions of highestaccuracy for real and complex numbers, for real and complex intervals, and for the corresponding vectors and matrices. Thus PASCAL-XSC makes the computer more powerful concerning the arithmetic. Through an implementation in C, compilers for PASCAL-XSC are available for a large variety of computers such as personal computers, workstations, mainframes, and supercomputers. PASCAL-XSC provides a module concept, an operator concept, functions and operators with general result type, overloading of functions, procedures, and operators, dynamic arrays, access to subarrays, rounding control by the user, and accurate evaluation of expressions. The language is particularly suited for the development of numerical algorithms that deliver highly accurate and automatically verified results. A number of problem-solving routines with automatic resultverification have already been implemented. PASCAL-XSC contains Standard PASCAL. It is immediately usable by PASCAL programmers. PASCAL-XSC is easy to learn and ideal for programming education. The book can be used as a textbook for lectures on computer programming. It contains a major chapter with sample programs, exercises, and solutions. A complete set of syntax diagrams, detailed tables, and indices complete the book.

PASCAL-XSC (PASCAL-e"X"tension for "S"cientific "C"omputation) ist eine Erweiterung der weitverbreiteten Programmiersprache PASCAL. Sie verfolgt das Ziel, das Programmieren, insbesondere im Bereich technisch-wissenschaftlicher Anwendungen, durch zusAtzliche Sprachkonzepte wie Module, dynamische Felder und Operatoren erheblich zu vereinfachen. Eine optimale Arithmetik mit hochgenauen Standardfunktionen und exakter Ausdrucksauswertung ermAglicht eine automatisierte, zuverlAssige Kontrolle der berechneten Ergebnisse. Damit unterstA1/4tzt PASCAL-XSC die Entwicklung von Routinen mit automatischer Ergebnisverifikation. Mittels der Compiler-Implementierung in C kann PASCAL-XSC auf PC's, Workstations, GroArechnern und Supercomputern gleichermaAen eingesetzt werden. In dem vorliegenden Lehr- und Handbuch wird PASCAL-XSC vollstAndig beschrieben. Zur praktischen Verwendung und zum leichteren Kennenlernen und Vertrautwerden mit den A1/4ber PASCAL hinausgehenden neuen Sprachelementen ist ein ausfA1/4hrlicher Abschnitt mit Aoebungsaufgaben und LAsungen aufgenommen worden. Ein kompletter Satz von Syntaxdiagrammen, sowie ausfA1/4hrliche Register und Verzeichnisse schlieAen dieses Buch ab.
