C++ Recipes Examples.......2006-11-03
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.
short subroutines.......2006-02-26
The C++ source code given here can be useful if you are in a hurry to implement an algorithm given in the main Numerical Recipes book. One might consider that a CD of the source code would be more useful. But the examples are short subroutines. Manually typing in the code from the book should not be a big deal for any of you.
The example data sets used for inputs to some of the subroutines is also useful for unit testing.
Book Description
These example books published as part of the Numerical Recipes, Second Edition series are source programs that demonstrate all of the Numerical Recipes subroutines. Each example program contains comments and is prefaced by a short description of how it functions. The books consist of all the material from the original edition as well as new material from the Second Edition. They will be valuable for readers who wish to incorporate procedures and subroutines into their own source programs. They are available in Fortran, C, and C++.

Handy companion for Numerical Recipes in C.......2007-03-09
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.
Another half for "Numerical Recipes in C".......1997-03-09
If you just see Numerical Recipes ,you will annoy the exact usage of codes. It is the practical book for the usage of codes in "Numerical Recipes". For real world, this is more helpful than "Numerical Recipes"

A great recipe.......2001-05-10
This is really a great book of numerical examples. It teaches you on how to use those "abstract" numerical recipes. From here you will be a good commander of both numerical recipes and numerical programming. You will learn a lot of practical experience. You can not miss it! enjoy it.

Numerical Recipes in Pascal (First Edition): The Art of Scientific Computing
ASIN: 0521376750 |
Book Description
Designed to accompany Numerical Recipes in Pascal the example book provides listings of demonstration programs (source code) that illustrate the use of each Pascal procedure found in the main book. This book will be a valuable aid to users wishing to incorporate Pascal programs into their own applications programs and to conduct simple validation tests. The programs found in this book are different from the original example book in Pascal (which will be phased out). Furthermore, they are not compatible with the Pascal programs found in the appendix of the original (FORTRAN) version of Numerical Recipes. The Pascal appendix is being dropped from the FORTRAN book with the publication of Numerical Recipes in Pascal. The revised example diskette contains the machine-readable source code for the programs found in the revised example book. (It only contains the programs; it does not contain any text found in the book.) N.B. The diskette that accompanies the revised example book replaces the extant Numerical Recipes Example Diskette (Pascal). The revised diskette is only compatible with the programs listed in the revised example book.

Mathematical function examples in Pascal.......2002-06-11
This book was written in 1985 when Pascal was still taught in most colleges. This is part of series called "Numerical Recipes: The Art of Scientific Computing" which provide explanation and examples of how you can use the computer to help your work. This particular book does not go into detail about the math, but it gives you examples of routines used to solve your particular problem.
Some of the examples listed cover linear algebraic equations, Fourier methods, and partial differential equations. As mentioned, these are written in Pascal, so if you are not familiar with that programming language, these routines will not help you understand the math. If you need to write such routines, and you understand Pascal, this book will help you get ideas for your programming needs.
Rock Solid.......2001-08-17
Get the book w/disk. If you're programming numerical routines in C, there's no better place to go. I've used the first edition of the book w/software for more than 10 years and I'll keep using this stuff till the end. Translating from C to C++ has been a very easy task these 10 years. The important thing is that these recipes are fast, intelligently done, and the book (which you should get) explains everything, including the appropriate choice of recipe for your problem. I've used at least 30 of the routines from these guys and they have all been rock solid. If I had a problem with any of them, it was because I messed with the routine, not because there was a problem with the supplied software. I have yet to run into a numerical issue that these guys do not have a great solution for.
Anyone familiar with the book knows that using the book's dynamic memory allocation routines (provided in Appendix D in my edition of the book and included in the software) allows you to start arrays anywhere you like, 0,1, or 1001, it doesn't matter. These dynamic memory allocation routines also have other major advantages such as minimizing the needed memory for a large simulation by allowing you to easily create new arrays as you need them, discard others immediately when you are done with them, adjust the size of an array according to the need at a specific point in your program, etc. Their way of handling this is so convenient that I never have had a memory allocation need that it does not meet. But this is just one detail; the main thing is that their attention to detail is at this level throughout. I cannot imagining going to another reference.
Get the book, read it as needed (you don't need to read a lot to solve a specific programming problem), and do numerical analysis with as much ease as there is to be had in C or C++ programming.
Very bad programs. Stay away. Buy the book instead........1999-08-24
This is a disk with programs from the book Numerical Recipes. There are no comments in the code, help file is just an index of routines without any explanations. Routines are translations of Fortran code into C but authors did not make any effort to conform to standard C conventions. All the arrays start at 1 instead of 0 which makes the code useless the way it is written - user must modify it. No const attribute is ever used. And this is plain C so if you write a C++ code and hope for seeing exceptions or references, forget it. You are better off buying a book and writing routines you need based on the published code. It is really a shame that such a thing is sold (and tremendously overpriced). jstrompf@soil.nl in his review obviously meant the book and not the CD-ROM, his positive review is misplaced.
Very informative and very much fun to read.......1999-05-05
This is by far my favourite technical book. Somehow, they make the material very living and clear by their informal way of writing. This book is sometimes even fun, just to read it. Nowadays, I mainly use it for linguistic content when I'm writing a technical English text.

talk about outdated.......2007-06-27
this book was likely a looker back in the day, but its 2007 now. Need to have better details for non "C"-users. wish i had bought "Idiots Guide to C".
A classic book of numerical algorithms.......2006-12-24
This book, although published 15 years ago, is still very useful. In fact, its more recent counterpart "Numerical Algorithms in C++" is a mess, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The explanations of the algorithms that occur in each section of this book are top-notch. It helps with such questions as "Sure you know how to evaluate an integral with pencil and paper, but how do you do it with a computer?" Everything from linear algebra techniques to integration and evaluation of functions to the FFT and spectral applications are explained clearly and coded up in C. The code is great too, with the exception of one problem that several reviewers have already mentioned - the author has a FORTRAN-like programming style in which each implementation has arrays going from 1 to n versus 0 to n-1. This does cause some implementation problems if you want to transfer the algorithms into another programming language. Overall, though, I can't think of one book that does all of the heavy lifting that this one book does as well as it does in the arena of numerical algorithms.
The book is now available online. Just type "Numerical Recipes" into Google and click on the Numerical Recipes Home Page to peruse the entire book free of charge. You might also find the "Numerical Recipes in C Example Book" useful. That book is simply the source programs that demonstrate all of the Numerical Recipes subroutines. Each example program contains comments and is preceded by a short description of how it functions. I know I found it helpful in many cases.
Very nice book.......2006-08-27
A must buy for students or researchers who need numerical methods. Comprehensive topics. A good place to start to deeper levels. Online book is good for quick look.
A classic, and still worth having.......2006-07-12
"Numerical Recipes" has been a staple in computing libraries for many years, and for good reason. It provides immediately usable implementations of all the workhorses of numerical computation, in production-quality form. Maybe there are better implementations out there, FFTW for example, but getting something to work correctly always comes before getting it to work fast. Numerical computation is a specialty, and vanishingly few of us are specialists. As a result, getting this much specialist knowledge for the price of a very few hours' wage, fully debugged and documented, is a great bargain.
I have to agree with the critics who point out that the Gnu Scientific Library (GSL) is more complete in some areas, and offers better licensing terms. This collection has its own strengths, though, and not just in documentation. The writeup, however, is the major interface between the software and us, the bio-ware. GSL's collection of 'man' (help) pages serves a purpose, but this book's exposition describes a lot more of the background and rationale for the routines. The code and man pages are self-evident statements of the implementation - but "what" is a very different question than "what else" or "why."
This one may not serve all needs. You'd be amazed how many it does serve, though. If you need more than a Matlab session for numerical computing, you need this.

Great compilation of numerical routines for C programmers.......2004-12-17
I found this book indispensible in my effort to develop profitable trading systems for futures and options and in my research in factor analysis and, more recently, in chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Anyone who programs in C or C++ and works with mathematics must have this book. It covers a surprisingly wide range of algorithms: routines are included for everything from handling Julian dates and solving systems of linear equations to determining eigenvectors and singular value decompositions, solving differential equations, doing numerical integration (quadrature), not to mention calculating fast fourier transforms, lomb periodograms and maximum entropy spectral analyses. While not always state-of-the-art, the routines are quite reliable (when used correctly), clearly-written, and easy to understand and use. I would strongly recommend this book (and the companion software) to anyone who programs in C and is literate in mathematics. I always keep a copy nearby.
