Abstract

The Ada programming language introduces a number of novel features in the area of numerics. The purpose of this report is to present these features to the programmer who is familiar with numerical computation but not with Ada. The report is designed to be presented as a lecture with the aid of viewgraphs (drafts of these are included). However, the material can be read in conventional fashion. (Author)
