Publisher Synopsis
'... an instant 'classic,' a book that should be purchased and read by anyone who uses numerical methods...' American Journal of Physics '... a book that should be on your desk (not your shelf) if you have any interest in the analysis of data or the formulation of models.' Human Biology '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 'These books are a must for anyone doing scientific computing.' Journal of the American Chemical Society '... a first port of call for accessible software, Numerical Recipes is extrmely valuable ... this volume is a welcome addition to the Numerical Recipes stable.' A. R. Harker, Contemporary Physics 'It performs a very valuable function in not only providing a correct method for a given problem, but in also helping the reader identify the most appropriate method for the task in hand ... the C++ style used in the book is excellent ... The book is beautifully produced, very clear, and easy to read ... This is a book that every computer laboratory and every serious scientist should read.' Computing Reviews "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."
