Hi All
I have just started re-reading my numerical recipies in c book after a 5 year absence. I am sure you will all agree that it is an excellent book. In the 5 years absence from C programming I have been doing a lot of java work. (blame it on the rise of the web)

Has anybody considered writing a numberical recipies in java ? I am sure it is a pretty trivial exercise espeically for somebody who us au fait with C and or c++.

Not that I am a fan of how Java have implemented their primitive data types, particularly floats (see
http://java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2001/tt0807.html

but Java is creeping into a lot of financial and scientific systems and I'd welcome some rigour to the area

any thoughts ?

p.s. had a little problem trying to decide which area to post this to, hope I'm not cross posting

Check the post(s) at the "NR in Other Computer Languages" forum. It seems that a lot of other users think the same. ;)
