books about: numerical     books:       Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic, AP Edition1 review Franklin Demana, Bert K. Waits, ... Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 2006 late arrival Book was in good condition, only thing is that it was shipped very late. I received the book almost after 15 days of placing my order.             Numerical Recipes in C: The Art of Scientific Computing38 reviews William H. Press, Brian P. Flannery, ... Cambridge University Press, 1992 A classic, and still worth having "Numerical Recipes" has been a staple in computing libraries for many years, and for good reason. It provides immediately usable implementations of all the workhorses of numerical computation, in production-quality form. Maybe there are better implementations out there, FFTW for example, but getting something to work correctly always comes before getting it to work fast. Numerical computation is ...             Numerical Recipes with Source Code CD-ROM 3rd Edition: The Art of Scientific Computing2 reviews William H. Press, Saul A. Teukolsky, ... Cambridge University Press, 2007 Good book, less valuable CD The book and the CD sounded like a convenient bundle. Unfortunately, the CD has some very restrictive terms for its use. Nonetheless, the CD is not the primary part of this purchase. Consider that many of the algorithms in the book are available in standard C libraries or the C++ STL. The more mathematically intensive algorithms are often freely available from [...]. The value of the book, ...             Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers6 reviews Richard Hamming Dover Publications, 1987 The Purpose of Computing is Insight, Not Numbers Throughout the book, that motto is repeated. By reading and absorbing the material in this book, the reader is left with the tools and the insights necessary to derive their own numerical methods. No longer will numerical methods be memorized as textbook formulas -- now the reader can adapt and derive a formula to solve a specific problem, instead of trying to fit one of a small number of ...             Numerical Recipes 3rd Edition: The Art of Scientific Computing7 reviews William H. Press, Saul A. Teukolsky, ... Cambridge University Press, 2007 Essential book on scientific computing Fifteen years after its previous edition, this peerless book on scientific computing has been upgraded with some very welcome changes. Not only have some advances in scientific computing been incorporated, the explanations are even clearer and more detailed than before. More importantly, the code has been reworked so that it is better than it was in the previous edition. I don't agree with the ...             Numerical Recipes Source Code CD-ROM 3rd Edition: The Art of Scientific Computing1 review William H. Press, Saul A. Teukolsky, ... Cambridge University Press, 2007 DISAPPOINTED WITH SEQUENTIAL CODE My rating reflects dissatisfaction with the concept of v3.0, rather than with how it's been implemented. Given past experience, I'm sure the implementation is just fine. I've been very happily using the parallel version of the v2.10 NR algorithms in Fortran 9x for the past year or more. My work needs the extra oomph of multiple processors, and the algorithms are all that they're supposed to ...             Applied Numerical Linear Algebra14 reviews James W. Demmel SIAM, 1997 Fantastic book, with great insight I can't speak to the entire book, as I've only made significant use of the section of matrix solvers. Having said that, his explanation of Krylov methods was the most clear and well organized I've ever seen. His book is the first I've seen that so nicely ties together all such methods. It's true that his book is probably not going to be enough if you are planning to focus on this as your research ...             Numerical Optimization (Springer Series in Operations Research and Financial Engineering)13 reviews Jorge Nocedal, Stephen Wright Springer, 2006 The best book for engineers that want to implement too The book is quite complete and goes directly to the point. if you ever need optimization in your design you will find it here. Simple and well presented. It has enough details about algorithmic performance and description that should be enough to implement. It is a book that you will never regret having it in your library. If you want something more theoretical use Nonlinear Programming by ...             Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic8 reviews Franklin D. Demana, Bert K. Waits, ... Prentice Hall College Div, 2006 Precalculus: Geographical, Numerical, Algebriac (7th Edition) My daugher has to use this book for 10th grade glass. She likes it though because it shows how to do the problems. You can actually use it to see how to complete an assignment. That seems like a given, but was not the case with previous texts she had to use.             Numerical Methods in Finance and Economics: A MATLAB-Based Introduction (Statistics in Practice)6 reviews Paolo Brandimarte Wiley-Interscience, 2006 Great all around book and excellent reference I am using this as a secondary reference for a half-semester Matlab and Optimization course and it has been invaluable. The writing is crystal clear, the examples and code are pretty close to perfect for every section. The author writes in a very intuitive fashion and of the sections I have covered I don't think I have been lost or confused once, which in this field is uncommon. This is not ...             Numerical Methods in Engineering with Python2 reviews Jaan Kiusalaas Cambridge University Press, 2005 Undergrad Numerical Method Textbook The content is typical of an undergraduate course in numerical methods. The author employs Python for that. It doesn't tell you how to use various modules available on the net. Instead, the author sticks to the standard few and explains numerical methods from the very basics. The book is very good for an introduction coursework. However, if you are a researcher looking for tools for serious ...             Numerical Analysis33 reviews Richard L. Burden, J. Douglas Faires Brooks Cole, 2004 It's engineering-oriented, not science-oriented. There are two aspects for this topic. Would you like the deeper reason why a certain way works? Or would you like to have some impressions with a certain method and try to implement it? Not many books can balance these two aspects very well and Burden's book is more toward the latter. This can be observed that almost every method is with a pseudo code and many numerical examples are given (many ...             Numerical Methods for Conservation Laws7 reviews Randall J. LeVeque, R. Leveque Birkhäuser Basel, 2005 Quintessential Volume on Num. Methods for Cons. Laws This book is organized into two main parts, the first of which deals with derivations of the conservation laws from physical principles, and theoretical treatment of such equations. The second part covers in detail the most popular (finite difference) schemes available for solving these PDE's and proofs on convergence. This book is really one I consider _the_ reference for conservation laws, ...             Numerical Computing with Matlab4 reviews Cleve B. Moler Society for Industrial Mathematics, 2004 Great book, no need to purchase. Great text for the student of matlab. Matlab is very generous with online documentation, and this content can be found at the matlab website with some creative google-whacking. All code and data files are also available.             Numerical Methods for Engineers18 reviews Steven C. Chapra, Raymond P. Canale McGraw-Hill Education (ISE Editions), 2008 Great Book I really like this book. I am teaching Programming Applications for Engineers and it is perfect. It uses advanced Excel Power tools and MATLAB, both of which we use, and its examples are from all walks of engineering careers. It is clearly written, explains the mathematical model behind the numerical method. I can't get enough of using it.             Schaum's Outline of Numerical Analysis5 reviews Francis Scheid McGraw-Hill, 1989 A book with an audience With no previous background in numerical analysis, I bought this book on the recommendation of my boss who loved the first edition. I had also ordered a whole lot of other books (many from Dover editions). It turns out this is the one I love to pick up from time to time so as to learn a new idea. It goes straight to the point and gives your mind something to munch on. I suppose that with time ...             Numerical Solution of Stochastic Differential Equations (Stochastic Modelling and Applied Probability)2 reviews Peter E. Kloeden, Eckhard Platen Springer, 2000 Excellent This book is one of the finest written on the subject and is suitable for readers in a wide variety of fields, including mathematical finance, random dynamical systems, constructive quantum field theory, and mathematical biology. It is certainly well-suited for classroom use, and it includes computer exercises what are definitely helpful for those who need to develop actual computer code to solve ...             Student's Solutions Manual for Precalculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic2 reviews Franklin Demana, Bert K. Waits, ... Addison Wesley, 2006 Great Product Great Product, exactly as described and shipping was free! I enjoy ordering from amazon and will continue doing so.             Numerical Methods in Economics5 reviews Kenneth L. Judd The MIT Press, 1998 An essential resource for all applied economists. Judd ties together a vast amount of material--from the most basic to the most advanced--that is essential to anyone doing computational work in economics, econometrics or finance. The book is sufficiently self-contained to serve as the single reference book on computational methods for the average economist. In addition, Judd highlights the origins of most methods and points to strengths, ...             How to Pass Advanced Numeracy Tests: Improve Your Scores in Numerical Reasoning and Data Interpretation ... Mike Bryon Kogan Page, 2008 Numerical psychometric tests, often used as part of an employer's selection procedure, represent a considerable challenge to many candidates.  How to Pass Advanced Numeracy Tests provides a wealth of highly relevant practice questions and detailed explanations to help candidates prepare for such tests. Pitched at a more advanced "graduate" level, it also has much to offer the beginner, such as a section on revising the basics.
