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.

This article discusses two numeric types that are available in F# PowerPack - BigRational represents arbitrary precision rational numbers and complex represents (floating-point) complex numbers. The types can be nicely used from F# as well as from C#.

This article is the first article of a series where I'll explain some of the F# features that are useful for numeric computing as well as some functionality from the F# PowerPack library.

After a quiet summer season, it is time to look at the upcoming F# talks and courses. If you want to learn about functional and asynchronous programming, F# and more, you may want to come to our training (organized with SkillsMatter), tutorials or some community events.

Asynchronous sequences provide a way to represent asynchronous computation that generates multiple values on demand. This article defines asynchronous sequences, combinators for working with them and "asyncSeq" computation builder. Then it implements several examples including a sequential asynchronous Web Crawler.
