Good Reference Books

Question:Who are NOT keepers of GREAT knowledge?
Answer:Authors who write GOOD books!


To that end, the below references are technical sources that contributed to some of the products of this website. Hopefully, others in technical fields will submit references of technical books they find useful, so that this list can be expanded.

Mathematica: ($200) Numerical Analysis for professional STEM applications, this software appears to be an industry standard. Much coding / debugging has been eliminated for the professional.
Jupyter: (Free) This open-source modeling package is used by educational institutions & performs functions similar to Mathematica. Jupyter supports Graphic User Interface (GUI) controls & displays like JavaScript.

O•S•P is teaching software modelling Physical Phenomena written in Java & JavaScript - (NSF - US).

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) governs web page formats for web browsers. HyperText Markup Language (HTML) was first adopted.

W3C standardized improvements, adding Cascading Syle Sheets (CSS) & JavaScript coding (JS). They also provide free training tools for HTML, CSS & JavaScript. W3C realizes standards must be understood to be used!

Java has syntax similar to C/C++. However, its source code is compiled into intermediate bytecode. This binary is a "universal executable". A Java Virtual Machine (JVM) resides on the target computer & converts bytecode to native executable "just in time".

Note: Oracle owns the Java language & produces the JVMs required for its implementation. As a result, no independent standard exists like for ANSI C or FORTRAN 77.
