As suggested by the title of this book Numerical Toolbox for Verified Computing, we present an extensive set of sophisticated tools to solve basic numerical problems with a verification of the results. We use the features of the scientific computer language PASCAL-XSC to offer modules that can be combined by the reader to his/her individual needs. Our overriding concern is reliability - the automatic verification of the result a computer returns for a given problem. All algorithms we present are influenced by this central concern. We must point out that there is no relationship between our methods of numerical result verification and the methods of program verification to prove the correctness of an imple~entation for a given algorithm. This book is the first to offer a general discussion on • arithmetic and computational reliability, • analytical mathematics and verification techniques, • algorithms, and • (most importantly) actual implementations in the form of working computer routines. Our task has been to find the right balance among these ingredients for each topic. For some topics, we have placed a little more emphasis on the algorithms. For other topics, where the mathematical prerequisites are universally held, we have tended towards more in-depth discussion of the nature of the computational algorithms, or towards practical questions of implementation. For all topics, we present exam ples, exercises, and numerical results demonstrating the application of the routines presented.

Our aim in writing this book was to provide an extensive set of C++ programs for solving basic numerical problems with verification of the results. This C++ Toolbox for Verified Computing I is the C++ edition of the Numerical Toolbox for Verified Computing l. The programs of the original edition were written in PASCAL-XSC, a PASCAL eXtension for Scientific Computation. Since we published the first edition we have received many requests from readers and users of our tools for a version in C++. We take the view that C++ is growing in importance in the field of numeri cal computing. C++ includes C, but as a typed language and due to its modern concepts, it is superior to C. To obtain the degree of efficiency that PASCAL-XSC provides, we used the C-XSC library. C-XSC is a C++ class library for eXtended Scientific Computing. C++ and the C-XSC library are an adequate alternative to special XSC-Ianguages such as PASCAL-XSC or ACRITH-XSC. A shareware version of the C-XSC library and the sources of the toolbox programs are freely available via anonymous ftp or can be ordered against reimbursement of expenses. The programs of this book do not require a great deal of insight into the features of C++. Particularly, object oriented programming techniques are not required.
