Zusammenfassung
This is the greatly revised and greatly 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, this 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 text book for scientists and engineers and an indispensable
reference for anyone who works in scientific computing. The Second
Edition is available in FORTRAN, the traditional language for numerical
calculations, and in the increasingly popular C language.
