Anyone actually >translate all the indices from 1 <= j <= N, to 0 <= j < N ? No, Numerical Recipies does not waste elements in the array. The vector and the matrix routines all allocate arrays where the first element is indexed by 1, just like Fortran. They do this by carefully subtracting an offset (generally 1) from the value returned by malloc. Then the user (the 2d fft routine, for example) can do things just like Fortran. See the vector() and matrix() routines described in the appendix. If you are going to complain about wasted space you should talk about the double indirection they do for all two dimensional arrays. But, this is a pretty good way to get around the inability to dimension two dimensional arrays at run time in C but it does cost N elements of storage. All in all I recommend the Numerical Recipies book. I wish I had the book back when I was doing my thesis.
