This extensive library of computer programs-written in C language-allows readers to solve numerical problems in areas of linear algebra, ordinary and partial differential equations, optimization, parameter estimation, and special functions of mathematical physics.The library is based on NUMAL, the program assemblage developed and used at the Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science in Amsterdam, one of the world's leading research centers. The important characteristic of the library is its modular structure. Because it is highly compact, it is well-suited for use on personal computers.The library offers the expert a prodigious collection of procedures for implementing numerical methods. The novice can experiment with the worked examples provided and use the more comprehensive procedures to perform mathematical computations. The library provides a powerful research tool for computer scientists, engineers, and applied mathematicians.

Episodic saga from the first half of the 20th century follows Hero Hua from an ill-omened June day in his youth to a showdown 17 years later with a disaffected member of his martial-arts school, a Japanese named Invincible. Tensions between Chinese and Japanese, plus U.S. racism, mark the tale. Hero marries Jade, leaves her in China when he goes to America as an indentured servant, rebels against cruel labor conditions, and is joined by her in New York City where she has twins. Jump ahead 16 years: their son Sword comes to New York looking for his father. There, Sword hears many stories of his father, which we see in flashbacks, and the stage is set for the battle with Invincible.

Moon Lee is an amnesic fugitive, it is caused by the release from prison of Yukari Oshima’s petty triad figure “Bullet” who enrages her estranged police officer father (and just about everyone else she has contact with). In both films the unanticipated intrusion brings death in its wake, destroying both couples by attracting the lethal attention of gangs. Both male partners are killed while making futile, protective gestures. As everything comes crashing down and her friends are kidnapped and killed, Bullet publicly refuses to accept responsibility. But privately she’s forced back on rather twisted martial honor, dying in savage, bloody slow motion. The momentary intensity of Bullet’s death – wielding a knife and Molotov cocktail – mirrors her character’s life.
