Good news and bad news Daniel Marivoet The bad news is: The author Jack Xu urgently needs to hire a proofreader, this book has many, too many typo's in it!Even in some titles: IMPLAMENTATION instead of IMPLEMENTATION. It makes you wonder: "How many errors are there in the code?"The good news is: This is a book that everyone with numerical computer algorithm interest should have! The chapters are well structured and all is well explainded. I typed in a few things myself and it all worked well.. It was a good starting point for me I had some high hopes for this book, but it was kind of a letdown. The book is very bare bones; it quickly explains the math and then it gives the simplest possible code that does it. But I was hoping for more explanation as to why certain decisions were made. For example, the numerical differentiation methods are each just separate static methods where you pass everything in and get out a value. Would it be better to have have one method that also takes . Wei He said Not practical at all. If you are an undergraduate student without any programming experience, and have just finished the course of linear algebra or numerical analysis, then the algorithms in this book might be an interesting demo for you. But for a book with this title, my expectation is at least the author has showed his experience in implementing numerical algorithms efficiently in C#. Unfortunately the author doesn't have a consideration of performance. Some of the algorit
