• F# courses and talks (Winter 2012 and beyond...)

  A couple of months ago, I posted a list of my F# talks and courses for Autumn 2011. Although I tried hard to have fewer speaking engagements during the winter and spring, there are quite a few events that

• F# Math (IV.) - Writing generic numeric code

  Writing generic numeric code in .NET is difficult, because .NET generics do not support constraints specifying that a type has to support certain numeric operations. In this article, we look how to solve the problem in F#. Using static member constraints, it is possible to write simple generic calculations and using the INumeric interface, we can capture numeric operations for a type and use them when implementing complex types such as a matrix.

• F# Math (III.) - Defining custom numeric types

  In this article, we look at defining custom numeric types in F#. We'll create a numeric type representing numbers in a clock artihmetic (with base 5) and we'll see how to define custom operators, numeric literals and how to support F# PowerPack matrices.

• F# Math (II.) - Using matrices for graph algorithms

  This article introduces the matrix type available in F# PowerPack. It discusses how to create matrices, manipulate matrices using indexing and slices and how to use built-in functions for working with them. As a running example, we use matrix to represent a graph using an adjacency matrix.
