Hi,
I want to improve my mathematics like derivation, integration and computational geometry so I will be able to use it in programming quite easily. Please recomend me some book related to this so I can carry on my with my work.

Thanks in advance!

When you refer to 'your work', do you have a specific goal? I'm asking because what you describe is so general, you'll need years just to be able to deal with the basics. To give you a hunch: in my 5 years at university about half of what I learned and did was in the area you describe. And I am well aware I know only a fraction of what there is to know!

Try to give a more accurate description of what you really need.

Read review for "Computational Geometry in C" by Joseph O'Rourke - http://www.amazon.com/Computational-Geometry-Cambridge-Theoretical-Computer/dp/0521649765/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1330115649&sr=1-1

Solution 1

For using differentiation,integration etc for programming i think you better study numerical methods. i have one book, but i can't see that in amazon. But i am sure you can find many of them there. :)

Solution 2

Computational geometry is a broad subject. If you are interested in computational geometry of curved surfaces in 3D, here is a book that contains not only theoretical background, but also working codes (over 20000 lines of code in C/C++, on an enclosed CD-ROM) with detailed descriptions of implemented algorithms:

Please stop posting answers to dead questions. This one is more than four years old.

Would you please point at the corresponding clause of the forum rules that prohibits answering questions that are four years old.

It's a convention, not a rule - otherwise the questions would be completely closed down as they are in Stack Overflow. The OP had already been directed to look in Amazon but at least you came up with a specific book (which I presume you recommend). However, be wary of answering a lot of old questions - it's usually viewed as just rep-point-gathering (because of previous behaviours from other members).
"Resurrected" questions filter back to the top of the Active Question list which just creates a lot of unnecessary "noise" in the forum - which is why most members frown upon the practice

Thank you for your detailed reply. Yesterday, I spent about two hours on this forum, carefully selecting questions matching my professional experience, and posted just four answers. Two of them were deleted under absolutely false pretext; and the one above critisized for a strange reason (really, does a request to recommend a good book have any expiry date ?)
I will review my decision to participate in the discussions on this forum.

I hope after your review you decide to continue to participate. Membership here is quite eclectic - you might get some amusement from the really grumpy ones ;-) (I'll confess, it took me a long while to see the funny side)

Thank you; lets see how it goes. Frankly, there aren't too many questions matching my experience or areas of interest. I will try to contribute if I can. In return, it would be appreciated if my comments that do not satisfy some (implicitly existing) standards, are not removed, but a notification is sent to me instead, so I could make required changes to the comment/solution.

Ah - there is a reporting mechanism on answers (other than the star rating) whereby members can report a question or a solution for things like Spam, Unclear, Not an Answer - 3 separate reports (from 3 different members) and the post is automatically deleted. I suspect the member who writes the post being reported isn't informed of the reports to stop spammers being given the heads-up (unfortunately, yet again, genuine members suffer because of the actions of a few idiots). However the admin are always open to feedback - there is even a specific forum for it - Bugs and Suggestions - CodeProject[^].
All the best.
