Math Resources for C/C++ Programmers [closed]

Answer 1

Hacker's Delight is a great little book about math and programming. The blurb:

A collection useful programming advice the author has collected over the years; small algorithms that make the programmer's task easier. At long last, proven short-cuts to mastering difficult aspects of computer programming. Learn to program at a more advanced level than is generally taught in schools and training courses, and much more advanced than can be learned through individual study/experience. An instant cult classic for programmers!

Answer 2

I don't use a lot of "real math", but when I need to remember those formulas that I used in school I go to Google. A lot of the results end up Here

Answer 3

I favourited a similar Stack Overflow question a few weeks back which contains some good info on the subject:

Essential Math for excelling as a Programmer?

Answer 4

Another poster recommended Numerical Recipes in C++ but posted a link to an older version. The newer Numerical Recipes in C++, 3d ed, ISBN-13: 9780521880688, is available and is an excellent resource.
