This is just an example, the site contains a large number of documents written at MIT.

Converting color temperature (Kelvin) to RGB.
The algorithm provides a high-quality approximation, but it’s not accurate enough for serious scientific use. It’s designed primarily for photo manipulation – so don’t try and use it for astronomy or medical imaging.

Interesting algorithm to invert functions, implemented in Common Lisp.

Faddeeva_w code to compute the complex error function (Faddeeva function).

Windows applications or source code for various numerical algorithms, with emphasis on polynomial root finding. Some algorithms can be used via a web interface.

Some interesting code (mostly C++) for numerical integration, special functions, polynomial roots etc.

Description of a fractal related to the Mandelbrot set and how it was rendered to a high resolution image.

On-line version of the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions, which is an updated version of the legendary Handbook of Mathematical Functions by Milton Abramowitz and Irene Stegun.

Self-referential LZ file, by no other than Russ Cox.

This page contains several computer programs, written in C/C++ language (and some Matlab scripts), that implement encoding and decoding routines of popular error correcting codes (ECC), such as Reed-Solomon codes, BCH codes, the binary Golay code, a binary Goppa code, a Viterbi decoder and more. Note that no effort has been made to `optimize' most of the algorithms used in the programs below. The algorithms work well, but by no means should be used as a basis for an implementation. All these programs are free to use for academic and personal purposes only. Use them at your own discretion.
