More information:
This program calculates (in fact estimates) the Mean Value and the Standard Deviation of an arbitrary function f(x,y) of two independent normally distributed random variables x and y.
The program uses the Monte Carlo Simulation Method. The function f(x,y) is specified in run-time and its values are calculated using the MS ScriptControl (msscript.ocx). Add Component: Microsoft script control 1.0 (msscript.ocx)
