The book contains algorithms for problems in differentareas of mathematics. The algorithms are selected in such a waythat they can be applied on computers.After an introductory chapter on programming and on basicalgorithms there are chapters on number theory, geometry,numerical mathematics, combinatorics and probability, onsimulation of random processes and on sorting. The book is morea textbook on programming than a textbook on mathematics.From a mathematical viewpoint it is merely a collection of interestingproblems. The correctness of the algorithms is only partiallytested. The algorithms are described with the help of flowdiagrams or the language BASIC. The author frequently givesexplanations on round-offerrors and on the running time of the programs, but as a rulethey are based on empirical tests and not on theoretical analysis.\par\edref{The review is based on the German original [Klett,Stuttgart, 1977].}
