Why I am trying what I am trying in my ode program

I've never had good luck with that. Maybe it's better now. I could try it again.

"According to the World Health Organization, the warming of the planet caused an additional 140,000 deaths in 2004, as compared with the number of deaths there would have been had average global temperatures remained as they were during the period 1961 to 1990. This means that climate change is already causing, every week, as many deaths as occurred in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001"

My only comment is that I am not, as I have said at least twice before, trying to translate a FORTRAN program. (or translate any program) I looked at code generated by Chang's program (not the program itself mind you) once in the last year. I was having trouble with his equation for arccos (found in the appendix to his draft of his book), All I learned was that arccos was not implemented in his program. (I did locate a typo in my code a little later.) I know I could get this ACM article by signing up for a service with ACM (about $100/year I think). I seriously doubt I could find the other articles locally. Probably closest is Iowa City - about 60 miles, but I have not


Maybe try inter-library loan?? Assuming you have a public library less than 60 miles away.
