A Numerical Library in Java for Scientists and Engineers Nby H. T. Lau
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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. Book News Annotation:Lau (McGill University) collects Java procedures for solving problems
that require linear algebra, ordinary and partial differential
equations, optimization, parameter estimation, and the special
functions of physics. Each entry describes the numerical method and
algorithm, defines the procedure parameters and procedures used, and
lists the Java code for the procedure, which is also provided on the
accompanying CD-ROM. The programs were tested in the Java 2 SDK
1.4.1 on a PC running Windows XP. The reference concludes with
worked examples for each chapter.
Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis: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. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
