when internet and numerical libraries were something for the chosen ones
NR came to the rescue of the underworld scientist and programmers.
This was one of NR main merits. Now all we can have access to internet
and free libraries and other stuff. In particular we have FREE acces
to the NR2 book in C, F77 and F90, www.nr.com.
Nowdays many seem to forget this fact. And something very important
for any good programmer is that for some cases, as quoted by Phillip Helbig,
the best algorithm depends on the problem.
Although some NR subroutines may have some problems, many others
are well and accurate.
