What is Numerical Computation Using C (Computer Science and Scientific Computing) about?
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.This book contains a wide selection of numeric techniques and shows how to implement them using the C programming language. Unfortunately, there are some problems with the programming style.1. Many subroutines dynamically allocate memory without freeing it when it's no longer used. These subroutines are called from within loops and leak memory as the program runs.2. Time is spent developing a set of functions to compute with complex numbers when modern C compilers now have a native complex datatype.3. Matrices are represented as arrays of pointers. This requires an
