There seem to be problems with _Numerical Recipes_:

http://www.uwyo.edu/buerkle/misc/wnotnr.html - Reliability issues.  The
criticisms appear to apply to the second edition.  Links to a rebuttal.

http://www.astro.umd.edu/~bjw/software/boycottnr.html - Licensing issues.  Which
edition is unspecified.  You'll need to disable <table>s (if your Web browser
can do that) in order to unscramble the page.
