Ask HN: Books on how to implement math calculations

4 points| lvlvlv | 5 years ago

Are there any well-known or hidden gem books on how to implement, for example, linear algebra/probability/diffeq/etc. either discrete or continuous methods? Say one wishes to understand how linear algebra or statistics libraries are written.

If you want to know how they are written, you could look at the library source for any open source ones.

If you want to actually implement, then I would say "don't". The libraries should be accurate and exposed to mass scrutiny with their use throughout the industry.
