Review

"The description of each project is carried out in a clear way with a pace that is pleasant for the reader. The author's vivid and entertaining style of exposition, use of amusing acronyms and absurd situations, liven up the subject which some students consider colorless. The author has succeeded in writing a very useful and valuable book for all those who want to learn to teach the use of the NAG library." --Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete/ Mathematics Abstracts

"Carefully graded, humorously detailed real-world programming projects for undergraduate courses in numerical methods. Integrates the NAG (Numerical Algorithms Group) FORTRAN software library into the projects. For college and university libraries." New Technical Books, NY Public Library
