The NAG Library

The Numerical Algorithms Group Library is a world-famous collection of Fortran subroutines used by over 1,000 computer institutions worldwide. Each subroutine does a numerical or statistical job, such as solving a set of differential equations or finding correlation coefficients. This book, written by an experienced teacher of students dealing with the NAG library, provides alternative descriptions of a basic selection of NAG routines. Each description includes a specimen problem and a specimen program suited to on-line use. It is an invaluable guide to any newcomer unsure of how to approach the library and is the perfect introduction to NAG numerical software.
