Title: Buy "Numerical Recipes in C" instead of this book!
Product review: If you are considering buying this book because it is newer than "Numerical Recipes in C", don't! Virtually all the algorithms presented use a totally unnecessary "NR" class, which only serves to distinguish the "C" from the "C++" version of the book, and adds a complexity which you and I can live without. This is clearly the result of a "publish or perish" policy."Numerical Recipes in C" has all the same powerfull algorithms presented in a much clearer and simpler way.I purchased the "C++" version, and it was a mistake. At this point, I use the "C++" hardcopy for a refference only. I use the free online "C" version for code I can actually use.Don't buy this book! Buy "Numerical Recipes in C" instead!
