Description

This is the revised and expanded second edition of the hugely popular Numerical Recipes: the Art of Scientific Computing. The product of a unique collaboration among four leading scientists in academic research and industry, Numerical Recipes is a complete text and reference book on scientific computing. In a self-contained manner, it proceeds from mathematical and theoretical considerations to actual, practical computer routines. With over 100 new routines, bringing the total to well over 300, plus upgraded versions of many of the original routines, this second edition, first published in 1993, is the most practical, comprehensive handbook of scientific computing available today. The book retains the informal, easy-to-read style that made the first edition so popular, even while introducing some more advanced topics. It is an ideal textbook for scientists and engineers, and an indispensable reference for anyone who works in scientific computing. The second edition is availabLe in FORTRAN, the quintessential language for numerical calculations, and in the increasingly popular C language.

: diskette(IBM3.5"800K) ISBN 9780521437165

Description

Now all the routines from the Numerical Recipes second edition plus all the test programs from the Numerical Recipes Example Book are available on one diskette. Diskettes are available in both C or FORTRAN for the IBM/PC and the Macintosh. These diskettes can save hours of tedious keyboarding, allowing readers to quickly and easily run the test programs and to adapt the recipes to their own needs.

Volume

: example book ISBN 9780521437219

Description

The example books published as part of the Numerical Recipes second edition series contain source programs that exercise and demonstrate all of the Numerical Recipes subroutines. Each example program contains comments and is prefaced by a short description of what it does. The books contain all of the old material from the original edition as well as new material from the second edition. They will be valuable for readers who wish to incorporate procedures and subroutines into their own source programs. They are available in both FORTRAN and C. This book was first published in 1993.
