OCaml for Scientists
|
Learn one of the world's most popular functional programming languages, with hundreds of awesome examples covering everything from simple numerical analysis to sophisticated real-time 3D visualisation using OpenGL.
This book contains over 800 color syntax-highlighted source code examples and dozens of diagrams that elucidate the power of functional programming to explain how lightning-fast and yet remarkably-simple programs can be constructed in the OCaml programming language.
Proof read by Xavier Leroy (lead developer of OCaml at INRIA).

"Thanks for the fantastic book!! I just can't say enough about how impressively professional this book is. The level of communication in this book is so high that it's obvious you have not only a strong and precise command of the subject matter - you also have a very skillful (natural?) ability to instruct others. This combination is key. I'm grateful you've shared these talents with the rest of us!" - Richard Lyman
