- I'm sure the authors would like to know where these sites are, as they
- are unauthorized. (The old first-edition Pascal code is freely
- distributed, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's pretty buggy, from
- what I hear.)
-
- The only authorized NR site is http://nr.harvard.edu/numerical-recipes/.
- It does not provide the code for free, although it does contain viewable
- copies of the books.
-
- On the other hand, there are good free linear algebra libraries (some
- at least as good as NR) at Netlib (www.netlib.org), GAMS
- (gams.nist.gov), or on Ajay Shah's list (posted recently to this
- group).
