Product Description

This example book contains C++ source programs that exercise and demonstrate all of the subroutines, procedures, and functions in Numerical Recipes in C++. The book will be a valuable aid to readers wishing to incorporate Numerical Recipes procedures and subroutines into larger programs and to conduct simple validation tests. Each example program contains comments and is prefaced by a short description of what it does and of which Numerical Recipes routines it exercises. In cases where the demonstration programs require input data, those data are also supplied. In some cases, sample output is also shown.

The "How to" of scientific and engineering programming
A great reference for finding out how to do things like root-finding and solving systems of equations. Programmers will probably moan about the implementations, but us engineers love it! This is not just a book of routines (see the companion book of examples for raw listings) but the authors actually do a good job of explaining the coding methods - I have chosen to eschew the code provided and write my own routines based on the explanations (This also circumvents the excessively restrictive licensing). Indeed, even if you using a language other than C, the book can still be invaluable insight to the methodology required. The licensing of the software in the book requires you to type in the programs by hand or otherwise purchase the routines as softcopy and another license.
