This preface is addressed to readers who are interested in computing but who seldom either consult manuals or read prefaces. So, I will be brief.
Computing requires an integrated approach, in which scientific and mathematical analysis, numerical algorithms, and programming are developed and used together. The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to analysis, numerics, and their applications. I believe that a firm grounding in the basic concepts and methods in these areas is necessary if you wish to use numerical recipes effectively. The topics that I develop extensively are drawn mostly from applied mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering. They are divided almost equally among review of the mathematics, numerical-analysis methods (such as differentiation, integration, and solution of differential equations from the sciences and engineering), and dataanalysis applications (such as splines, least-squares fitting, and Fourier expansions).
