Art of Computer Programming - Volume 2

Volume 2 of Donald Knuth's classic series The Art of Computer Programming covers Seminumerical Algorithms, with topics ranging from random number generators to floating point operations and other optimized arithmetic algorithms. Truly comprehensive and meticulously written, this book (and series) is that rarest of all creatures--a work of authoritative scholarship in classical computer science, but one that can be read and used profitably by virtually all working programmers.
