Subject: [xsl] Article: An XSL Calculator: The Math Modules of FXSL From: Dimitre Novatchev <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 12:44:28 -0700 (PDT) |
This article describes the 32 functions of latest 6 FXSL math modules and can be viewed at: http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/articles/xslCalculator/The%20FXSL%20Calculator.html Contents: Introduction ? 1. The Trigonometric Functions ? 2. The Hyperbolic-Trigonometric Functions ? 3. The Exponential and Logarithmic Functions ? 4. Solving Equations of One Real Variable ? 5. Inverse Functions ? 6. Putting it All Together - the XSLT Calculator ? Conclusion ? Resources And two excerpts: "This article is a follow-up from three recent publications [1], [2], [3] on functional programming in XSLT. Described are various new modules of the XSLT functional programming library FXSL [4], which implement trigonometric and hyperbolic-trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions and their reverse functions. Also implemented are two general methods of solving equations of one real variable. These are used within an XSLT Calculator - an interactive XSLT application driven entirely by a single stylesheet, which depends on an external object for its IO. The code of the implementation demonstrates the use of such powerful, functional programming design patterns as partial application and creation of functions dynamically." "Conclusion We described the newest 6 modules of FXSL, which implement a variety of useful math functions and two numerical methods of finding the root of a continuous function of one real variable. Their use was demonstrated through the construction of a simple yet powerful, accurate and efficient XSL Calculator. The XSL Calculator also demonstrates a reliable method of serializing a series of calls to extension functions, closely following the definition of the Monad class in Haskell." You may have noticed that the home of FXSL has moved to: http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ The FXSL library downloads (the latest version is 1.1) are at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53841 The page for this SourceForge project is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fxsl Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
