Numerical Recipes in C++: The Art of Scientific Computing - Hardcover

Now, the acclaimed Second Edition of Numerical Recipes is available in the C++ object-oriented programming language. Including and updating the full mathematical and explanatory contents of Numerical Recipes in C, this new version incorporates completely new C++ versions of the more than 300 Numerical Recipes routines that are widely recognized as the most accessible and practical basis for scientific computing. The routines, in ANSI/ISO C++ source code, can be used with almost any existing C++ vector/matrix class library, according to user preference. 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. It remains the most practical, comprehensive handbook of scientific computing available today.
