Numerical Receipes Example Book Pascal: The Art of Scientific Computing: PASCAL Example Bk

By Tahir Mehmood

Designed to accompany Numerical Recipes in Pascal the example book provides listings of demonstration programs (source code) that illustrate the use of each Pascal procedure found in the main book. This book will be a valuable aid to users wishing to incorporate Pascal programs into their own applications programs and to conduct simple validation tests. The programs found in this book are different from the original example book in Pascal (which will be phased out). Furthermore, they are not compatible with the Pascal programs found in the appendix of the original (FORTRAN) version of Numerical Recipes. The Pascal appendix is being dropped from the FORTRAN book with the publication of Numerical Recipes in Pascal. The revised example diskette contains the machine-readable source code for the programs found in the revised example book. (It only contains the programs; it does not contain any text found in the book.) N.B. The diskette that accompanies the revised example book replaces the extant Numerical Recipes Example Diskette (Pascal). The revised diskette is only compatible with the programs listed in the revised example book. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Excellent classic mathematics and programming text

Strange that I should get this book after I stopped using an old fashioned programming language and started using Mathematica. There are still algorithms used in this text that haven't been "built-in" in Mathematica. Ten years ago I used texts much like this to program on a daily basis,so I know that although this is well written it still leaves a lot for the programmer to fill in. I even found some material I still need...

Mathematical function examples in Pascal

This book was written in 1985 when Pascal was still taught in most colleges. This is part of series called "Numerical Recipes: The Art of Scientific Computing" which provide explanation and examples of how you can use the computer to help your work. This particular book does not go into detail about the math, but it gives you examples of routines used to solve your particular problem.Some of the examples listed cover linear...

Rock Solid

Get the book w/disk. If you're programming numerical routines in C, there's no better place to go. I've used the first edition of the book w/software for more than 10 years and I'll keep using this stuff till the end. Translating from C to C++ has been a very easy task these 10 years. The important thing is that these recipes are fast, intelligently done, and the book (which you should get) explains everything, including the...

Very informative and very much fun to read

This is by far my favourite technical book. Somehow, they make the material very living and clear by their informal way of writing. This book is sometimes even fun, just to read it. Nowadays, I mainly use it for linguistic content when I'm writing a technical English text.
