Numerical Algorithms with C

The book has a twofold purpose: for one it provides an easy access to widely tested computer codes for over 130 numerical algorithms. At the same time it gives an informal introduction to the mathematical and computational principles of the underlying methods, as well as practical guidelines to their usage.

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.
