Although the computing facilities available to scientists are becoming more powerful, the problems they are addressing are increasingly complex. The mathematical methods for simplifying the computing procedures are therefore as important as ever. Microcomputer Algorithms: Action from Algebra stresses the mathematical basis behind the use of many algorithms of computational mathematics, providing... Read more

Biography
John Killing beck has wrinen some eighty scientific publications, including five books. His publications range over the fields of group theory, perturbation theory and microcomputer numerical algorithms. He has been a visiting professor at the Universities of Guelph ( 197 4) and Besancon ( 1991). He was a Reader in Theoretical Physics at the University of Hull, where his plan to redeploy to computer science was halted by his enforced early retirement in 1989. He currently works part-time in the School of Mathematics at Hull, and intends to extend his freelance lecturing and writing activities.
"… a practical and valuable resource for researchers and teachers in scientific or mathematical computing who wish to use, or to explain to others, the specific and useful microprogramming style … for using small capacity computer systems more efficiently. A number of new and unorthodox methods are introduced and some algorithms have characteristics which have yet to be fully explored. This aspect will add spice to the appeal of the book to researchers in numerical methods generally."
-The Australian Computer Journal
