Numerical Recipes in Fortran 90: Volume 2, Volume 2 of Fortran Numerical Recipes: The Art of Parallel Scientific Computing

by William H. Press, Saul A. Teukolsky, William T. Vetterling, Brian P. Flannery, Michael Metcalf (Foreword by)

Overview

The second volume of the Fortran Numerical Recipes series, Numerical Recipes in Fortran 90 contains a detailed introduction to the Fortran 90 language and to the basic concepts of parallel programming, plus source code for all routines from the second edition of Numerical Recipes. This volume does not repeat any of the discussion of what individual programs actually do, the mathematical methods they utilize, or how to use them.

Editorial Reviews

"...this present volume will contribute decisively to a significant breakthrough, as it provides models not only of the numerical algorithms for which previous editions are already famed, but also of an excellent Fortran 90 style..." From the Foreword by Michael Metcalf, one of Fortran 90's original designers and author of FORTRAN 90 Explained.

"As with previous volumes in this series, this book is a classic and is essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of numerical calculation. It is beautifully produced, inexpensive for its content, and a must for any serious worker or student." A. D. Booth, Computing Reviews

"...very useful for graduate and postgraduate courses and also for all specialists who are interested in parallel scientific computing." Mikhail P. Levin, IEEE Concurrency
