Linear interpolation of four-dimensional tabulated data for computers with single subscripted variable capability

Using only a one-dimensional subscripted variable, a FORTRAN computer subprogram was developed to linearly interpolate tabulated data of functions of four or less variables. The primary motivation was for faster computation.

Uniform random number generators

Methods are presented for the generation of random numbers with uniform and normal distributions. Subprogram listings of Fortran generators for the Univac 1108, SDS 930, and CDC 3200 digital computers are also included. The generators are of the mixed multiplicative type, and the mathematical method employed is that of Marsaglia and Bray.
