Abstract

We consider the changing face of computing and the evolving interface of numerical algorithms from subroutines to: - spreadsheets, - high-level scripting languages, - visual programming, and - Web browsers. Through examples we consider the movement from the subroutine language interface to sophisticated computational environments and trace how NAG libraries and products have evolved along this path.
