If you want to use Java todevelop scientific or engineering programs, Technical Java is the Java guide you've been searching for. Using real-life examples, expert scientific programmerGrant 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 needto 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 functionsincluding 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
