Editorial Reviews
Review
"The book is beautifully produced, very clear, and easy to read. [one]...that every computer laboratory and every serious scientist should own."
Computing Reviews
"...an instant 'classic', a book that should be purchased and read by anyone who uses numerical methods."
American Journal of Physics
"This monumental and classic work is beautifully produced and of literary as well as mathematical quality. It is an essential component of any serious scientific or engineering library."
Computing Reviews
"These books are a must for anyone doing scientific computing."
Journal of the American Chemical Society
"...this book is a comprehensive text and reference work on scientific computing."
Mechanical Engineering
"This encyclopedic book should be read (or at least owned) not only by those who must roll their own numerical methods, but by all who must use prepackaged programs."
New Scientist
"Any technology company that doesn't have a few copies of this work and the accompanying diskettes is wasting the precious time of its best researchers."
Forbes
"A product of a unique collaboration by leading scientists in academia and industry, this book is the second edition of a comprehensive text and reference work on scientific computing."
Business Horizons
Product Description
Co-authored by four leading scientists from academia and industry, Numerical Recipes Third Edition starts with basic mathematics and computer science and proceeds to complete, working routines. Widely recognized as the most comprehensive, accessible and practical basis for scientific computing, this new edition incorporates more than 400 Numerical Recipes routines, many of them new or upgraded. The executable C++ code, now printed in color for easy reading, adopts an object-oriented style particularly suited to scientific applications. The whole book is presented in the informal, easy-to-read style that made earlier editions so popular. Please visit www.nr.com or www.cambridge.org/us/numericalrecipes for more details.
