Product Description
An Introduction to C++ and Numerical Methods provides a brief yet comprehensive introduction to programming and numerical methods for students in engineering, chemistry, physics, and applied mathematics. It is suitable for second semester or second year students who have had at least a semester of calculus. This text offers students both an introduction to programming in C++ and clear explanations of the basics of numerical methods, including numerical integration and the solution of ordinary differential equations, nonlinear equations, and systems of linear equations. It is unique among textbooks at this level in its extensive coverage of numerical methods used in scientific and engineering computation.

A waste of money! If you want to learn Numerical methods or need some C++ numerical code, don't buy this book. There are much better choice like "programming in C with numerical methods for engineers" by Kamal B. Rojiani or "an introduction to numerical methods in C++" by BH Flowers.
 For Fortran programmers who want to learn C++ September 1, 1999
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book was written for scientific programmers who program mainly in Fortran but who want to move into C++. It is a brief and elementary discussion of C++. The main features of C++ that make it different than C are not discussed until Chapter 17, and then only briefly. No discussion is given in the book on performance issues in C++ vs Fortran. Serious scientific programmers in Fortran have to face up to these issues and be convinced that C++ is the way to go if they are to make the switch. The book might be useful to those who want a quick look at C++.
