Too many missing details
The content of this book is very disappointing. Too many details are missing. In many cases, the authors describe implementations without getting into the details of how they reached it. Because of these missing details, it is hard to understand the reasonning behind some of the trade-offs described in the book. It lacks clarity in several areas. Even with some experience in the area, I was left too many times trying to figure out what the authors meant.

Code is easy to understand
Book works well with other arithmetic books like Koren's.All the code is on a CD and its great to finally see an implementation that's easy to understand since its all written structurally. ... Read more

Good book for a better understanding of cryptography
This boook is not an introductory one although it could be read by almost everyone. It cover many facets of cryptography as randomness, zero knowledge proofs and interactive proofs. It also gives a good background of this ideas. Excellent survey
The book contains an broad overview of the 3 fields in the title (probabilistic proofsstands for both Interactive Proofs, Zero-Knowledge & Probabilisticly Checkable Proofs).Read more

That is the book
For a long time I have been searching for an algorithm book which is comprehensible, easy to follow. This is the book, I am really looking for. The other books like "Introduction to Algorithms" and most of the others do not give the point of the subject, full of mathematics, strange symbols many unneccessary details, I think that the other authors must follow the approach like in this book.
Good Basic Textbook
I am a professor of computer science and used this book for my Algorithms class. Although it had a few errors, there were many things I liked about it. First, the size of the book is just right; it covers all of the major subjects and I was able to use the entire text in one semester. Other textbooks cover topics in so much detail, I often had to leave many topics out of the course. Second, the active learning approach is great; having students do in class exercises and group projects helped them grasp the material more quickly. Third, I liked the omission of higher level mathematics; our college offers a degree in computer science but also other computer-related degrees which do not require a knowledge of calculus. Any student should be able to grasp the math in this book. In conclusion, I will use this text again and look forward to other authors writing books that "get to the point" quickly like this author did. ... Read more

A pretty good book
While the table of contents is very good, too much time is wasted in developing preliminaries. The text should quickly move into the core of the subject, but instead spends 220 pages developing the elementary material. A good reference for teachers of discrete mathematics with emphasis in combinatorics and not in computer science. ... Read more

A must read for students of the Radon transform
For the student of the Radon transform and its many applications, this book is a must.It's all here:the Radon transform in a multidimensional setting, the X-ray transform (a closely related transform), generaltheorems for the Fourier transform of the Radon transform, and theorems onthe range of the Radon transform.The author also covers samplingtheorems, ill-posed problems, orthogonal functions, and tomography forincomplete sampling.He also offers much material on other alliedtransforms, the exponential Radon transform and the Radon transform fornonuniform attenuation, one of the major unsolved problems of mathematicalphysics.Read more

This book sucks
If you are a math professor, considering using this book for a discrete math class, please, spare your students the misery and the money. My professor, with good intentions, assigned this book because it is cheeper than a traditional text book (still extremely expensive considering the book is very short and does not go into detail.)Most students in the class ended up buying an additional discrete mathematics textbook to supplement this one because this book did not explain most of the concepts in enough detail. I am studying for a test right now and the book is not helping me at all, especially since for a comprehensive discrete math course, my professor had to include in his lecture a lot of content not mentioned in this book.

can use the book for other languages
The book is best suited for those actually using Fortran. The Markov chain examples of Monte Carlo runs are well explained. Hopefully, the reader should not have any problem with the concepts. Of course, the actual runs are very compute intensive, but that's why you need a computer.

Unique contribution for signal processing
The book is excellent. It provides a comprehensive description of evolutionary computation applied to almost every facet of signal processing: classification, clustering, time series, system identification, etc. The final chapter provides some real insight on how to design evolutionary algorithms that is very helpful. The material is well presented and easy to understand.I really like it and the cost is reasonable. ... Read more

No Simple Explainations
If you are new to Fortran and learn by doing, this is not the book for you. It is difficult to find explainations in one location.For example, when writing out a variable to the screen, you may want spaces put into the output.Where do you find the "coding" for spaces?Well, it's hidden very well in an example 20 pages later from the original text on the "write" statement.Also, I am currently writing code and need to use the 'call' statement.Unfortunately, something as useful as the call statement is hard to find in this book.I have had a difficult time using this book as a reference without having to spend a lot of time going through the whole chapter to find the information I needed.Maybe it just needs to be organized differently. Concentrated Acid for FORTRAN 95
For the experienced FORTRAN 77 programmer, this is the best book you can own for learning FORTRAN 90/95.Don't be fooled by its unimpressive size, the content is what's important and the only metaphor I can find is this: the contents of this little jewel are like concentrated acid.I'm not at all surprised the authors of Numerical Recipes in FORTRAN 95 site this book as their favorite reference.This book is not for the faint at heart, but then, what successful programmer is?This rare jewel combined with Adams, Brainard, Martin, Smith, and Wagener's "FORTRAN 95 Handbook" is all the aspiring FOTRAN 90/95 programmer needs.
