Today, more than at any other time in the history of mankind, computers are increasingly and successfully being exploited to gain a better understanding of our physical world and as a result, also deepen our appreciation and reverence for God’s Creation. Consequently, as computers evolve, so must the means to control them through advancements not just in hardware but also in software.

In order to satisfy this demand for better software, Microsoft released an entirely new programming language called C# that incorporates the best features of all the other existing popular programming languages such as Java, C/C++, and Visual Basic. In spite of considerable resistance by some people who persist on clinging on to the past and continue to program computers the hard way, C# has now firmly established itself worldwide as arguably the preferred language for software application development. Although many excellent books on the topic of general programming in C# have been written, there is still a considerable lack of published material on the topic of numerical methods in C#.

Accordingly, Numerical Methods, Algorithms and Tools in C# is a book containing a large collection of very useful ready-to-use mathematical routines, algorithms and other computational tools aimed at programmers, mathematicians, statisticians, scientists, engineers and anyone else interested in developing mathematically oriented computer applications in the relatively new and easy-to-learn object-oriented C# programming language from Microsoft. With a heavy emphasis on using well established numerical methods, object-oriented techniques and the latest state-ofthe- art Microsoft .NET programming environment, this book provides readers with working C# code including practical examples that can be easily customized and implemented to solve complex engineering and scientific problems typically found in real-world applications.
