APL is of primary interst as a concise and powerful programming language for certain kinds of computations. This book can be used as the main text for a course but it is also brief enough to be used as a supplement.

This book should be of interest to mathematics scientists working in the areas of linear algebra, abstract algebra, number theory, numerical analysis, operations research and mathematical modelling.

First steps with APL. Fundamentals of arrays. Elementary function definition. Matrix algebra. Data comparision and logical functions. Simulation and more mathematical functions. Statistics and graphics. More array manipulation. Sorting and coding. More function definition. Appendix A: help, error messages, and debugging. Appendix B: workspace environment. Appendix C: keyboards. Appendix D: answers to select exercises. Bibliography. References. Index.
