Student Guide to IFPS (Interactive Financial Planning System)

By  Paul Gray

1983 McGraw-Hill (New York), 8 1/2 x 11 inches tall paperbound, illustrated with charts and graphs, xii, 396 pp. Very slight soiling, rubbing and edgewear to covers. Otherwise, a very good to near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked. 

Written for beginners as well as experienced users of the Interactive Financial Planning System (IFPS), a financial modeling language created by professor Gerald R. Wagner and his students of the University of Texas at Austin in the late 1970s. IFPS was available for a variety of platforms, including IBM mainframes (VM/CMS), DEC VAX, various flavors of Unix, DOS-based PCs and Macintosh Computers (named 'Mindsight' - running on two floppies). There were a number of versions, from about 1985, including optimization and a data area for storing data separately from models.
