It  is used to control aeroplanes and bridges, operate manufacturing  lines,  control power plants and refineries, and analyse financial  markets.  Such software must be accurate, reliable, robust, efficient,  easy to  use, maintainable and adaptable. Quality assessment and  control of  numerical software is still not well understood. Although  measurement  is a key element, it remains difficult to assess many  components of  software quality and to evaluate the trade-offs between  them.  Fortunately, as numerical software is built upon a long  established  foundation of mathematical and computational knowledge,  there is  great potential for dramatic breakthroughs. This volume will  address  enabling techniques and tools such as benchmarks, testing  methodologies, quality standards, metrics, and accuracy control  mechanisms, and their application to software for differential  equations, linear algebra, data analysis, as well as the evaluation  of integrals, derivatives and elementary and special functions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780412805301\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-5041-2940-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 384\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378922610828,"sku":"9780412805301","price":152.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780412805301.jpg?v=1771513793","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780412805301","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
