Review # 1 was written on 2008-09-20 00:00:00 Ser Mel It was hard to imagine how to improve on past editions of this book -- but the third edition did! It's a great "how to" guide to all sorts of problems in scientific programming.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-09-28 00:00:00 Jeremy Damstra This book rocks. The license does not. Can't fault the guy for that though. You can tell the author put a ton of time into distilling the information and presenting the incredibly complicated topics of numerical analysis in a way that can be immediately applicable to anyone who regularly has to solve complex numerical problems. Even part-way into the first chapter, I learned something fundamental about C++ which for some reason I had never noticed (with 6 years of C++ and BSCS). How to detect a NaN value is as simple as "if (x!=x)". You'll have to read to learn more. This is a must-have for the aspiring computer scientist seeking to expand their repertoire of problem-solving tools and techniques. From simple tips-and-tricks to supervised learning algorithms such as K-means clustering, this book will provide both adequate explanations as well as detailed implementations (you certainly want to write the code yourself *especially* for work, as the aforementioned license is comprehensive and limiting) which can provide you with solid foundations upon which to develop your own solutions.
