2009-05-27 Chronicles of Maura, May 27, 2009

Look what Maura has found! It is a relatively new version (3rd Edition) of Numerical Recipes! Maura's mom calls it the bible. When it comes to solving some fairly generalized problems without too many twists and turns and excursions from text-book problems, then this book comes in handy. However, Maura likes twists and turns, like efficient parallelized algorithms, or optimizations with additional special constraints. Much of the code in this book will have to be carefully looked at before being modified.


A meaty text indeed for a curious duck.
