Know about the book -

Matters Computational is written by Jörg Arndt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 364214764X (ISBN 10) and 9783642147647 (ISBN 13).

This book provides algorithms and ideas for computationalists. Subjects treated include low-level algorithms, bit wizardry, combinatorial generation, fast transforms like the Fourier transform, and fast arithmetic for both real numbers and finite fields. Various optimization techniques are described and the actual performance of many given implementations is examined. The focus is on material that does not usually appear in textbooks on algorithms. The implementations are done in C++ and the GP language, written for POSIX-compliant platforms such as the Linux and BSD operating systems.
