Kazmie r, L. J. S A. S. Phi1ippakis. Fund amentals of EDP and 
FORTRAN — a self-instructional manual. McGraw-Hill, New 
York, 1970, xii + ]60. [The novice will be introduced to 
FORTRAN programming but is unlikely to develop any compe¬ 
tence in it using the "self-instruction" style of this 
book. Although self-instruction manuals such as Honeywe 11's 
"FORTRAN IV Programmed Text" are valuable teaching aids, 
Kazmier and Phi1ippakis dilute the value by over-writing 
the questions and preventing the reader from thinking and 
working.--GZ]

Manning, W, A. & R. S. Garnero. A FORTRAN IV problem solver. 
McGraw-Hi11, New York, 1970, viii + 167. [A programming 
primer aimed primarily at business management. The approach 
is extreme ly elementary. The reader is halfway through 
the section on instruction before he is required to write 
a simple program. The novice programmer will have diffi¬ 
culties returning to the text discussion to correct his 
programming errors.--GZ]
