Algorithms in general
A few questions have come up about various ways to do operations - from sorting, removing duplicates, comparing,
finding roots.
ALL of this stuff is covered in D. E. Knuth's 'Art of Computer Programming' - the father of metafont (TrueType is based on this)
Most decent libraries have a copy, all college libraries do.
It's still so popular that Amazon ships it overnight.
Also, 'Numerical Recipes in C' is still out there. Good book.

I've just taken delivery of the 3 book box set of Lord Knuth's masterpiece for Christmas. T'will be a grand Christmas this year, tiny Tim.
Oh god, I've got to go up into the bloody loft and get unpack the Christmas tree again. Sigh.

Monday Morning Lunatic
I have the fortran version of NR sitting near me at work 
Knuth rocked, especially with TeX

I'd like to have a look at that Numerical Recipes URL please, if you have it.
Also, does anyone know where I can find some excerpts from "The Art Of Computer Programming"? I'm simply too impatient to wait until Dec 25!
On Knuth's website he says he is expanding TAOCP to seven books!
