Essential C++ for Engineers and Scientists

Essential C++ for Engineers and Scientists provides a pragmatic introduction to C++ with a clear focus on the needs of engineers and scientists. The book distills key programming concepts into practical modules, making it accessible for readers with little or no prior programming experience. By interweaving a variety of engineering and scientific examples, the text illustrates how C++ can be effectively applied to real-world challenges. The content emphasizes both fundamental control structures and more advanced topics such as one-dimensional and multidimensional arrays, file manipulation, and object-oriented programming. With over 80 examples drawn from diverse areas like solar heating, environmentally responsible power production, water conservation, and automated manufacturing, readers gain hands-on experience developing robust solutions. New case studies demonstrate comprehensive algorithm development while expanded sections on member functions and member operators further enrich the learning process. An appendix covering C is also included, offering an additional resource for those interested in a comparative perspective. Essential C++ for Engineers and Scientists equips its audience with the confidence and skill to approach complex problems using C++ with competence and creativity.
