Hello, all Numerical Recipes users!
We've had many requests over the years for a Numerical Recipes bulletin board, or forum, and we've decided to give it a try. We hope that Numerical Recipes users will be able to help each other -- and that this will also be an efficient way for the Numerical Recipes authors (Press, Teukolsky, Vetterling, and Flannery) to provide information and assistance.
Here are the simple rules of the road:
1. No flaming! If you want to complain about something, you can do so -- but keep it civil and professional. No use of words unsuitable for children: we are NOT an adult site!
2. Anyone can browse in the forum, but you have to be registered to post replies. Registration is simple and free.
3. Stick to subjects within the scope of the forum, that is, Numerical Recipes, numerical methods, and scientific computing.
4. Please, in the spirit of community, try to give more than you get. Be generous in answering other people's queries, even when they seem to be beginners in the art.
That's it! If we succeed, we will be able to build a resource of significant usefulness. If we fail -- if people don't follow the rules -- we will have to discontinue the experiment.
Good luck, and cheers,
Bill P.
