Numerical Recipes in Fortran 90: Volume 2, Volume 2 of Fortran Numerical Recipes: The Art of Parallel Scientific Computing 2nd Edition by William H. Press (PDF)

Description

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.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “…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 Book Description This book gives a detailed introduction to Fortran 90 and to parallel programming, with all 350+ routines from the second edition of Numerical Recipes.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐A Must have for an old programmer.

⭐This IS NOT a standalone book. It can be read ONLY with NR f77 (2. Ed. also titled Volume I). The discussions on the algorithms given there are not repeated here. The few new recipes (eg on random numbers using a lot of f90) are explained in the excellent style one has come to expect of the authors. However to make sense out of the book you must have both this and the volume 1 open at the corresponding pages. This makes it inconvenient to use. For this reason it was something of a disappointment.The cleanliness of the code in the recipes (as expected from the authors other recipe books) and the introductory chapters on f90 and parallelization still make the book worhtwhile.I think I would have given the book more stars if my expectations (based on previous version) were not so high.

⭐This is one of the greatest advances in numerical analysis of the 20th Century, and a “can’t do without” in the computer age. However, I bought a personal copy in 1991 and the quality of the binding was terrible as pages have kept falling out in the most frequently used sections. It’s one of the books I’ll take to my grave, if it doesn’t die before I do. I think the publishers should be ashamed of themselves for not treating such a great classic with more respect.

⭐Costo contenuto alla maniera di Amazon per i libri tecnici. Libro arrivato in condizioni perfette nonstante sia stato preso in carico da Poste Italiane. Tempi di consegna di due mesi, arrivato però con anticipo di circa due settimane. Il libro è un classico del genere, fondamentale per chi si cimenta nella produzione di software di calcolo scientifico per l’ingegneria. Il volume in questione andava a completare la collana col primo volume “Numerical recipes in Fortran 77” degli stessi autori ed al volume unico “Numerical recipes in C”.in my optinion the optimizations this book describes are easily guessable just from reading the first book. so if you want to put zero effort into thinking about the algorithms from the first volume, then this book might be worth it, but i would not buy it again.
