VERY GOOD CONDITION

I am greatly pleased. Considering this book is from 1992 it came in very good condition. The front cover was a little bent due to the mail mail putting the book in my small mail box, but it came in real good condition. Thanks!

Handy companion for Numerical Recipes in C

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2007

If you need to see programming examples on how to use the numerical algorithms that have been transformed into C code in Press' classic Numerical Recipes in C, then this is a very handy little book. Every chapter in this book has a one-to-one correspondence with the chapters in Numerical Recipes. The code is clear and well-commented. However, there is one draw-back. The code in this book is written in the same annoying Fortran style as Press' other book. Press codes like a Fortran programmer who just won't give up the ship and do things like start his arrays at zero instead of one. However, assuming you have waded through Numerical Recipes prior to this, understanding his programming style is one of the skills you should have already mastered. Just remember there is nothing complex going on in this book. You are just being shown examples on how to use the subroutines in the other book. If you took the trouble to go through Numerical Recipes in the first place, it is likely you already know how you intend to use the subroutines it contains.

Wow!

Dears:
This book is a classical on numerical analysis. This C edition has helped me a lot with many algorithms that I used to develop many image processing applications. In spite of the "Fortranish" way to program (with GO TOs inclusive!) it is of inestimable value. The harder part is to turn out the GO TOs!

I have no idea why I purchased this lol I think I thought it was something else, but it is just some C code examples with little documentation.

Exceptional book on implementing practical math with C++

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2014

A top-notch book that not only covers the mathematical concepts well, but also presents well-written C++ examples to show how those concepts relate to code. You'll almost certainly not want to take these examples directly to your own code, but you'll learn enough to know how to implement literally hundreds of numerical algorithms in your own projects.

I cannot recommend this book more highly. It does what it says and says what it does. The best stuff!

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2006

Very good with Numerical Recipes. If you are experienced, it is good, if you are a fledgling, complement it with a beginers book. I recomend it.

I love this book. It helps to write your own code using the subroutines. For me it is a must to have book.
