Square Bracket Associates, 2016. — 406p. Numerical methods naturally lend themselves to an object-oriented approach. Mathematics builds high-level ideas on top of previously described, simpler ones. Once a property is demonstrated for a given concept, it can be applied to any new concept sharing the same premise as the original one, similar to the ideas of reuse and inheritance...

Springer, 1997. — 298p. This book was originally written to support an introductory course in Object Orientation through the medium of Smalltalk (and VisualWorks in particular). However, it can be used as a book to teach the reader Smalltalk, to introduce object orientation as well as present object-oriented design and analysis. It takes as its basic premise that most Computer...

University of California, 1987. — 249p. This book documents two results that run counter to conventional wisdom about the Smalltalk-80 system. It shows that a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) can offer excellent performance for a system with dynamic data typing and that automatic storage reclamation need not be time-consuming. The Smalltalk-80 system makes it possible to...
