Applied Numerical Analysis

by Curtis F. Gerald 4th Edition Hardcover, 7 pages Amazon.com Price: $61.25 List: $61.25 Published by Addison-Wesley Pub Co Publication date: January 1994 Dimensions (in inches): 9.57 x 7.75 x 1.34 ISBN: 0201115832 Availability: On Order; usually shipped within 1-2 weeks. Book News, Inc., 04/30/94:
A textbook for sophomores and juniors in engineering, science, mathematics, and computer science, or sourcebook for practicing engineers and scientists who need to use numerical analysis to solve problems. It gives a broad coverage of the field, emphasizing practical applications rather than theory. Among the changes in this edition is the addition of a new chapter that introduces a description of computer algebra systems which offer an alternative to writing a program to solve a problem, and a discussion of parallel processing and how this can be adapted to numerical procedures. Another change is the inclusion of programs in BASIC, Pascal, C, and Ada, in addition to FORTRAN. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.

C/C++ Mathematical Algorithms for Scientists and Engineers/Book and Disk

by Namir Clement Shammas Bk&Disk Edition Paperback, 304 pages Amazon.com Price: $45.00 List: $45.00 Published by McGraw Hill Text Publication date: July 1,1995 Dimensions (in inches): 9.19 x 7.36 x .75 ISBN: 0079120040 Availability: This item usually shipped within 2-3 days. Synopsis:
A valuable book/disk set offering scientists, engineers, statisticians, and programmers a toolbox of essential numerical routines in C and C++. The programs are all be written in C, with C++ extensions provided where the object-oriented language provides a benefit. Providing the routines in both C and C++ helps scientists and engineers familiar with C to learn C++.
Book News, Inc., 06/01/96:
Provides mathematical routines for analyzing complex numerical data, offering code written in C, with C++ extensions, for solving linear and nonlinear equations; interpolation; differentiation; integration; optimization of single variable and multivariable functions; linear regressions; and multiple and polynomial regression. Includes libraries for common mathematical and statistical functions, pseudo- code for the algorithms used to implement the various methods, and information on basic statistics and ANOVA tests.
