Not OP but it explains why Ocalm is really good for the sort of code numerical science would turn to C++ or Fortran more stereotypically. I.e instead of focusing on programming for programming's sake (as introductory programming books sometimes tend to do) it actually digs into real applications, specifically, where a non-trivial problem is solved with elegant, short, readable and correct code. Seconded, it's an awesome book!
