About this Item

Neuware - This groundbreaking handbook presents the only inexpensive numerical library available for the use of Java in scientific computation. It provides a library of Java-based procedures that perform fundamental mathematical computations critical to researchers. It includes procedural descriptions of linear algebra, the numerical solution of ordinary and partial differential equations, optimization, parameter estimation, and special functions of mathematical physics. The book includes test programs that allow researchers to execute the examples presented. Users can construct their own tests, apply the numeric procedures to them, and observe a successful computation or simulate failure.

About this title

Synopsis

At last researchers have an inexpensive library of Java-based numeric procedures for use in scientific computation. The first and only book of its kind, A Numeric Library in Java for Scientists and Engineers is a translation into Java of the library NUMAL (NUMerical procedures in ALgol 60). This groundbreaking text presents procedural descriptions for linear algebra, ordinary and partial differential equations, optimization, parameter estimation, mathematical physics, and other tools that are indispensable to any dynamic research group. The book offers test programs that allow researchers to execute the examples provided; users are free to construct their own tests and apply the numeric procedures to them in order to observe a successful computation or simulate failure. The entry for each procedure is logically presented, with name, usage parameters, and Java code included. This handbook serves as a powerful research tool, enabling the performance of critical computations in Java. It stands as a cost-efficient alternative to expensive commercial software package of procedural components.
