From Book News, Inc.
Arguing that practical methods of numerical computation can be simultaneously clever, efficient, and clear, the authors of this text present the methods for using the C++ computer programming language to construct programs for carrying out the standard computations of numerical analysis (with the exception of partial differential equations). 300 "recipes" are included in this new edition. Each recipe is described using a mixture of general discussion, analytical mathematics, discussion of algorithmics, and actual implementation of the ideas in the form of working computer routines. The level of complexity of the routines ranges from a suitability for advanced undergraduates to the level of professional reference.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
