Whilst NR provides a broad coverage, there is much in NR which is at fault
in both the text and the software from the standpoint of modern numerical
analysis. Their treatment of ODEs in particular bears little resemblance
to what is "state-of-the-art".
Two reviews by numerical analysts are:
(1) Lawrence F. Shampine, "Review of 'Numerical Recipes, The Art of Scientific
Computing'," The American Mathematical Monthly 94, 9 (Nov 87) 889-892.
(2) Richard J. Hanson "Cooking with 'Numerical Recipes' on a PC," SIAM (Society
for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) News 28, 3 (May 90) 18.
