C++ for Engineers and Scientists (Introduction to Programming)

now In Its Third Edition, Bronson's C++ For Engineers And Scientists Makes C++ Accessible To First-level Engineering Students As C++ Maintains Its Stronghold In Engineering And Scientific Communities. The Text Continues To Take A Pragmatic Approach That Incorporates Actual Engineering And Science Problems For Its Applications And Examples. Students Begin With A Foundation In Procedural Programming, Moving Into Object-oriented Concepts In The Second Half Of The Text. This New Edition Also Offers New Case Studies And An Expanded Selection Of Examples From A Variety Of Fields Including Thermodynamics, Optics, And Fluid Mechanics. booknews a Textbook For A Course Of One Or Two Semesters Teaching Programming In The Computer Language That Has Failed To Infiltrate Engineering As Thoroughly As Many Other Fields. Begins With Procedural Programming And Advances To Object Orientation As Rapidly As The Pedagogical Framework Allows, But The Section On Object Oriented Programming Can Be Bypassed In Favor Of One On Data Structures. The Emphasis Throughout Is On Solving Problems, Software Engineering, And Applications. The 3.5 Disk Contains The Source Code. Annotation C. By Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
