- Summary
- "The emphasis in this book is on learning C from a mathematical perspective."--BOOK JACKET. "Traditionally, books on C have been written from the systems point of view. Many in the scientific community are now learning C, and a book such as this provides them with a scientific-computation approach to the use of the language. It contains numerous original programs for the computational solution of a spectrum of problems from applied mathematics."--BOOK JACKET. "This book is appropriate as a supplemental text in advanced undergraduate level courses in numerical analysis, numerical methods, or computational mathematics."--Jacket.
