Windows Basics

1. Hiding and Showing Forms in C Sharp

When developing a Windows application using C# it is a fairly safe bet to assume that it will consist of multiple forms (otherwise known as windows). It is unlikely, however, that all of those forms will need to be displayed as soon as the application starts up. In fact, it is more likely that most of the forms will remain hidden until the user performs some action that requires a form to be displayed.

2. NewtonPlus - A Fast Big Number Square Root Function

A Fast square root function for Big Integers and floats. The algorithm uses a variety of new and existing ideas to calculate the square root with greater efficiency and better performance than other algorithms. The performance of this function only starts large numbers above 2^52. It is presented in both Java and C# versions.
