Abstract

Can object-oriented methods be applied to mathematical software? Apparently, according to Beall and Shepard (An object-oriented framework for reliable numerical simulations, object-oriented software. Addison Wesley, Reading, 1994) who say: “It has been recognized in a number of different fields that object-oriented programming, in general, and software frameworks, in particular, provide a means to allow the efficient construction and maintenance of large scale software systems. Since general purpose numerical analysis codes certainly qualify as large-scale software it makes sense for us to see how these methodologies can be applied to this field.”
