Numerical Recipes In C Diskette For Macintosh Version 2.0: The Art Of Scientific Computing

This is the greatly 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 the original routines, the new edition remains the most practical, comprehensive handbook of scientific computing available today. Highlights of the new material include: A new chapter on integral equations and inverse methods Multigrid and other methods for solving partial differential equations Improved random number routines Wavelet transforms The statistical bootstrap method A new chapter on less-numerical algorithms including compression coding and arbitrary precision arithmetic. The book retains the informal easy-to-read style that made the first edition so popular, while introducing some more advanced topics. It is an ideal reference for scientists and engineers and indispensable to anyone who works in scientific computing. The Second Edition is available in the increasingly popular C language and in FORTRAN, the traditional language for numerical calculations. The C version takes advantage of many unique features of the C language including dynamic memory allocation, modularization, pointer reference to matrices, structured programming, and much more.

Note: This edition only includes the diskette.

A considerable (50%) expansion of what has come to be the handbook of first resort in scientific computation. A few new chapters were added, and, mainly, many more topics/techniques are now concisely discussed. A great addition to any reference collection, even if you already have the first edition. The text comes in both C and Fortran editions. Cambridge also makes available the following companion products, which our customers have found extremely valuable in their own right: Example books---- tutorial guides to using the routines within your own programs Program disks---- all 300+ routines from the text itself, plus sample programs from the example books. For the basic book, example books, and disks, be sure to specify whether Fortran or C editions are preferred; for the disks, be sure to specify IBM (3.5" or 5.25") or Macintosh formats.

Thoroughly self-contained, it proceeds from mathematical and theoretical considerations to actual, practical computer routines.This new version incorporates completely new C++ versions of the more than 300 Numerical Recipes Second Edition routines widely recognized as the most accessible and practical basis for scientific computing, in addition to including the full mathematical and explanatory contents of Numerical Recipes in C. These example books published as part of the Numerical Recipes, Second Edition series are source programs that demonstrate all of the Numerical Recipes subroutines. Each example program contains comments and is prefaced by a short description of how it functions. The books consist of all the 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 Fortran, C, and C++. This example book is part of the Numerical Recipes series. It contains C source programs which exercise and demonstrate all of these Numerical Recipes subroutines, procedures, and functions. Each program contains comments and is prefaced by a short description of what it does and of which Numerical Recipes it exercises. This book, like its predecessor edition, is supposed to teach you methods of numerical computing that are practical, efficient, and (insofar as possible) elegant.
