Numerical Recipes 3rd Edition is Here!!! Message #1 Posted by Namir on 5 Oct 2007, 7:13 a.m. UPS finally dropped off the latest edition of Numerical Recipes, which I consider the Bible for numerical analysis. While the C++ code is in a more object-oriented form than the second edition, it offers a very good insight on how algorithms tick! One can translate the C++ into BASIC, RPN, RPL, and so on with various degrees of ease or difficulty. It would be nice to have a MatLab version of the Numerical Recipes. Namir

Message #4 Posted by Thomas Chrapkiewicz on 5 Oct 2007, 8:39 a.m., in response to message #1 by Namir Namir: Yes, the NR Recipes book has been a useful resource, but as I recall, some algorithms in the early editions had some issues. I have most all editions from the original FORTRAN, Pascal, C and BASIC. I too have wondered if there was a demand for a matlab/octave, Excel or RPN/RPL versions of these algorithms. Certainly with the large program and data memory space of the 35s, it is a potential target for some of these algorithms. TomC

I think they require you to download a plugin for acrobat, but free is free. http://www.nr.com/oldverswitcher.html -Jonathan
