Inhaltsangabe

In Java Number Cruncher: The Java Programmer's Guide to Numerical Computing author Ronald Mak explains how to spot-and how to avoid-the subtle programming miscues that can cause vexing calculation errors in your applications. An authority on mapping pure math to computer math, he explains how to use the often-overlooked computational features of Java and does so in a clear, non-theoretical style. Without getting lost in mathematical detail, you'll learn: practical numerical algorithms for safely summing numbers, how to find roots of equations, interpolation and approximation, numerical integration, how to solve differential equations, matrix operations, and how to solve sets of simultaneous equations. You'll also enjoy intriguing topics such as searching for patterns in prime numbers, generating random numbers, computing thousands of digits of pi, and creating intricately beautiful fractal images. Java Number Cruncher: The Java Programmer's Guide to Numerical Computing includes: Practical information all Java programmers should know Popular computational algorithms in Java-without excessive mathematical theory; Interactive graphical programs that bring the algorithms to life on the computer screen; Rounding errors, the pitfalls of integer arithmetic, Java's implementation of the IEEE 754 floating-point standard, and more. This book is useful to all Java programmers, especially to those who want to learn about numerical computation, and to developers of scientific, financial, and data analysis applications.
