Description of  Technical Java: Developing Scientific and Engineering Applications

If you want to use Java to develop scientific or engineering programs, Technical Java is the Java guide you've been searching for. Using real-life examples, expert scientific programmer Grant Palmer shows how to build powerful, versatile, and flexible software forvirtually any technical application. Whether you're moving from FORTRAN,C, or C ++, or learning Java as your first language, Palmer covers all you need to know - - Java, FORTRAN, C, and C ++, similarities, differences, and migration issues - Java 1.4 syntax, objects, classes, methods, interfaces, variables, arrays, exceptions, packages, I/O, and more - Working with java.math and creating your own math functions-including detailed trigonometric and transcendental examples - Data modeling, in depth: class hierarchies, generic class libraries, least-squares fit, fitting to non-polynomial equations, and more - Solving differential equations and systems of equations, including Gauss-Jordan and Gaussian elimination, lower-upper decomposition, and matrix inversion - Solving integral equations with both proper and improper integrals - Working with Fourier transforms (DFT and FFT) - Building Web and GUI-based technical applications with Swing/AWT and servlets
