Title: GNU scientific library is free and better!
Product review: The biggest drawback of numerical recipes book is that first you have to buy it to see whether you need it or not. Besides, why pay money if you can get a similar library for free. I found GNU Scientific Library (GSL) to be total replacement for this book. If you have fedora or ubuntu, get gsl with one lineOn fedora:yum install gsl gsl-develOn ubuntu:sudo apt-get install gsl-bin gsl-ref-htmlThat's it, people! What can be harder!GSL documentation is free online, but you can order a book as well.GNU Scientific Library Reference Manual - 2nd EditionP.S. also GSL library can be used together with c++ code.
