Numerical Recipes

Numerical Recipes are LANL-only and will require Remote Access

Numerical Recipes^TM is a series of text and reference books on "the art of scientific computing" that is famous for its engaging text and lucid mathematical and algorithmic explanations. The book includes commented full listings of more than 400 unique C++ routines (About Numerical Recipes).

Numerical Recipes Electronic is the updated, online version of the Third Edition (2007).

Read online (requires Flash):

• Rollover - mouse-hover over the edge of the page to see navigation options
• Empanel - the navigation menu is fixed on the left sidebar

Download PDFs (secured):

• Traditional - requires the FileOpen plug-in (DRM software), may not work on some Mac or Linux systems [How to Install the FileOpen plug-in]

Download Routines

• Index of Routines

Older Versions

Thanks to special permission from the authors and Cambridge University Press, LANL staff have local access to PDF versions of:

• Numerical Recipes in C
• Numerical Recipes in Fortran 77 (Volume 1 of the Numerical Recipes in Fortran series)
• Numerical Recipes in Fortran 90 (Volume 2 of the Numerical Recipes in Fortran series)

Additional LANL-specific troubleshooting

Browser Settings

• Firefox settings: Tools -> Options -> Advanced tab -> Encryption tab ... make sure that "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0" are checked
• IE settings: Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab ... make sure that "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0" are checked, and that "Use SSL 2.0" is unchecked (check IE even if you do not use it)
• Confirm that Port 443 is open (https://www.grc.com/port_443.htm)

Mac Fix

The following combination of actions have been found to work on Macs.

STEP 1)

• Firefox -> Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Network tab -> Settings
• Select "Manual proxy configuration"
  • For HTTP Proxy: proxyout.lanl.gov:8080
  • For SSL Proxy: proxyout.lanl.gov:8080
  • For No Proxy for: localhost, 127.0.0.1, lanl.gov
• Click OK

STEP 2)

• Firefox -> Preferences -> Applications
• Find the PDF document "Content Type"
• Select "Use Adobe Acrobat" under the Action
• Close the Preferences dialog box

STEP 3)

• Install the FileOpen plug-in for Adobe [How to Install the FileOpen plug-in]
