Numerical Programming on the 387, 486, and Pentium/Book and Disk (Programming Tools for Scientists & Engineers)

A comprehensive tutorial on numerical programming that uses the core instruction set and the floating-point unit of the Intel 387, 486, and the Pentium. Accessible to those with a minimum background in computer math, it walks readers through the entire process, from an elementary discussion of number theory to advanced coverage of systems of linear equations and parsing. The accompanying disk includes a working numerical library that can be used from both high- and low-level languages. For professional programmers who use PC compatible computers to solve math problems. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
