Numerical Computation Using C (Computer Science and Scientific Computing)

As many in the scientific community move from FORTRAN toward C, there is a need for books to make this transition smooth and effective. This book was written by a mathematician to address the need for such a reference and focuses on C from a mathematical perspective. No prior knowledge of C is assumed, and the troublesome areas such as pointers, arrays, and dynamic memory allocation are thoroughly covered. This book is intended to be a guide for learning C through numerical analysis, and will serve as a supplemental text in numerical analysis, numerical methods, scientific computing, or computational mathematics courses.
