 The "Numerical Recipes" series of books provides detailed instructions on implementing a wide variety of numerical algorithms using computer programs.
 This series of books is available online.
 The material is designed primarily to be *accessible* to scientists and engineers who have no formal background in computer science or numerical methods.
-Because of this, topics such as parallelism, scalability, numerical efficiency and modernity (e.g. performance portability) are not a key focus of the material.
-Nonetheless, the series explains the theoretical concepts behind each algorithm and offers practical advice on how to effectively implement them including even example code in Fortran and C.

 ### Content and Structure
 The books are organized into chapters, each focusing on a different area of numerical computation.
 Key topics covered include:
 
-- **Linear Algebra:** Solutions to systems of linear equations, eigenvalue problems, and matrix decompositions.
-- **Interpolation and Extrapolation:** Techniques for estimating values between discrete points of data.
-- **Integration and Differentiation:** Numerical methods for calculating integrals and derivatives.
-- **Root Finding and Nonlinear Sets of Equations:** Algorithms for solving single or multiple equations.
-- **Optimization:** Techniques for finding the minima or maxima of functions.
-- **Ordinary Differential Equations:** Methods for both initial and boundary value problems.
-- **Partial Differential Equations:** Numerical approaches to solve PDEs across various domains.
-- **Statistical Description of Data:** Basic statistics, fitting models to data, and hypothesis testing.
-- **Random Numbers:** Generation and use of pseudo-random and quasi-random sequences.
-- **Signal Processing:** Fourier and spectral analysis techniques.

 The clear exposition and code samples help readers apply the techniques to real-world problems.
 
-### Reception and Legacy
+### Reception and legacy
 "Numerical Recipes" has been praised for demystifying complex numerical techniques and making them accessible to a broad audience.
-However, it has faced criticism over the years for the efficiency and modern relevance of some of its algorithms, particularly in the context of high-performance computing.
-Despite this, it remains a valuable resource for those early in their experiences learning and applying numerical methods in science and engineering.
