Summary
Summary
More scientists now use C than any other programming language. This book contains practical, computer-ready algorithms for many standard methods of numerical mathematics. It describes the principles of the various methods and provides support in choosing the appropriate method for a given task. Topics given special emphasis include converging methods for solving nonlinear equations, methods for solving systems of linear equations for many special matrix structures, and the Shepard method for multidimensional interpolation. The CD contains C-programs for almost all the algorithms given in the book and a compiler, together with software for graphical printing.

Choice Review
This very comprehensive yet practical volume of information about the application of numerical methods using the C programming language has been translated from its original German text (a mature 7th edition, 1993). It covers a wide range of topics in good detail, including representation of numbers, systems of nonlinear equations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices, linear and nonlinear approximation, splines, numerical integration, and others. The book comes with a CD-ROM containing the implementations of these algorithms in C. The authors claim that these C language implementations have been thoroughly tested, and the disc contains both the algorithms and test programs that demonstrate and validate their functionality. In each of the sections of the book, familiar mathematical notation is used to convey the algorithmic information, and a detailed explanation of the principles is provided for each algorithm. A high quality work overall, with numerous graphs, tables, and examples. Truly a one-stop shopping destination for numerical algorithms in C. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. F. H.
