Features: This book covers a wealth of material, including a large number of topics involved in modern scientific computing: evaluating special functions, generating random numbers, sorting, optimization, fast Fourier transforms, spectral analysis, wavelet transforms, statistical descriptions and data modeling, numerical solutions of partial differential equations, several encoding algorithms, and arbitrary precision computation. The book unifies scientific rigor and practicality. It not only provides mathematical analysis and comparisons of each algorithm but also offers comments and recommendations based on the authors' experience. Furthermore, it provides practical programs written in C++. The 345 programs in the book form a numerical computing program library in C++. This book can serve as a reference or textbook for scientists and engineers engaged in scientific computing, software developers, as well as undergraduate and graduate students.
