★☆☆☆☆
Copyright Idiocy!
People, stop buying and using this book! The copyright is prohibitive. It is not that they are greedy and want to make money from it. They won't sell you the rights to use any of these algorithms in commercial products, period. They are just stupid. And don't give your code to a friend or coworker. You just violated the copyright. Several coworkers have given me simulations with NR code buried in it. I can't use them. It is ILLEGAL! Stop! Stop! Stop! Use the GNU Scientific Library. It is free. And legal! And there is a free book on it. Use anything but NR.
