<p>I found Didier Besset's book 'Object-Oriented Implementation of
Numerical Methods' [1] online. I think the Smalltalk code package
I am looking for came from this book/author. Perhaps it was called
NumericalMethods, but in searching for this package I cannot find
any code. Would anyone out here know of this package? I last used
it around 2002 in VisualWorks. It had all sorts of distributions
and infinite series and other function classes. Pretty awesome. <br/>
<br/>
I am very interested to find it in order to do coronavirus
infection distributions, with a Monte Carlo simulation and using a
distribution to define the delay between infection time and the
onset/appearance of symptoms and finally the delay from that onset
to reporting to a hospital. The goal is I want to calculate Rt
[2], for NC and VA, the effective reproductive rate in time. As
calculated by the founders of Instagram, NC is now below 1 [3].<br/>

I appreciate any guidance you could give me to find this software.
Gotta a link? I would love it!!<br/>
