"This is an exciting book on mathematics on one hand and computer programming on the other, and the reader can concentrate on one of the topics or both. The mathematics part focuses on teaching mathematics through constructive algorithms, ready for computer implementation. I believe this is the future view of these classical mathematical subjects. Many will find this book a major refresher of the mathematics literature. The programming part of the book serves as a very good introduction to C and C++, using meaningful and motivating examples from mathematics. The book is full of useful exercises of various difficulty. This fact makes the book very suitable as a textbook for a mathematics or computer science course."—Hans Petter Langtangen, Simula Research Laboratory and University of Oslo, Norway
