Introduction


Visual Basic is now completely on a par with C# and other languages in its scientific, engineering, and financial number-crunching capabilities. This chapter demonstrates how easy it is to develop very fast and powerful, yet easy-to-read code for advanced number-crunching applications. Some of the recipes will appeal to almost all developers, such as those demonstrating rounding, the new unsigned integers, and the new Decimal numbers that are suitable for the most demanding financial calculations. Other recipes will appeal to the many scientist and engineer types searching for 21st century updates for FORTRAN, programmable calculators, and Excel.
