Abstract
Co-authored by four leading scientists from academia and industry, Numerical Recipes Third Edition starts with basic mathematics and computer science and proceeds to complete, working routines. Widely recognized as the most comprehensive, accessible and practical basis for scientific computing, this new edition incorporates more than 400 Numerical Recipes routines, many of them new or upgraded. The executable C++ code, now printed in color for easy reading, adopts an object-oriented style particularly suited to scientific applications. The whole book is presented in the informal, easy-to-read style that made earlier editions so popular. Please visit www.nr.com or www.cambridge.org/us/numericalrecipes for more details. New key features: 2 new chapters, 25 new sections, 25% longer than Second Edition Thorough upgrades throughout the text Over 100 completely new routines and upgrades of many more. New Classification and Inference chapter, including Gaussian mixture models, HMMs, hierarchical clustering, Support Vector MachinesNew Computational Geometry chapter covers KD trees, quad- and octrees, Delaunay triangulation, and algorithms for lines, polygons, triangles, and spheres New sections include interior point methods for linear programming, Monte Carlo Markov Chains, spectral and pseudospectral methods for PDEs, and many new statistical distributions An expanded treatment of ODEs with completely new routines Plus comprehensive coverage of linear algebra, interpolation, special functions, random numbers, nonlinear sets of equations, optimization, eigensystems, Fourier methods and wavelets, statistical tests, ODEs and PDEs, integral equations, and inverse theory And much, much more!

Sigsoftmax: Reanalysis of the Softmax Bottleneck

TL;DR: Sigsoftmax as discussed by the authors is composed of a multiplication of an exponential function and sigmoid function, which is able to break the softmax bottleneck without additional parameters, and it outperforms softmax and mixture of softmax, respectively.

Equifinality, sloppiness, and emergent structures of mechanistic soil biogeochemical models

TL;DR: Analysis of soil biochemical models of different complexity regarding parameter identifiability using information geometry suggests that information geometry provides a powerful approach to derive effective descriptions of relevant biogeochemical processes and reduce structural model uncertainty.

Magnetism of substitutional Fe impurities in graphene nanoribbons.

TL;DR: Using the generalized gradient approximation to exchange and correlation, density functional calculations on an Fe atom at a single vacancy of graphene nanoribbons show that, after relaxation, the Fe atom is magnetic, in contrast to the behavior recently found for Fe at asingle vacancy of the graphene sheet.
