Product Description
Geared primarily for the first programming course taken by engineers, this text offers a concise and practical introduction to C++ and features an attractive array of engineering problems and supportive tutorial examples. Using the principles of problem solving decomposition and top-down design, the text follows the evolution of programming ideas from the use of a single function to the use of a structure chart and functions to modularize, and finally to the use of object-oriented programming.

 THE BEST C++ REFERENCE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED December 1, 2005
Jingle Jane (Washington)
Fabulous book, great writing and organization, very helpful to students and teachers alike. The pragmatic use of interrelational variables is explained in such an exquisite, easy-to-comprehend manner. The formulaic modulations are presently comparable to infinite problematic discontinuities of modulaic perceptions. The quantum relations of semiotics disproportionately inflect the finite use of intercorrelated quarks. The influx of geometrical diatonal dispersement is clearly established in the first chapter and is carried through to the last sentence. It is a great contribution to the society of intellectual conquestors. Thanks to Kumarswamy and Tiuley, we have a fine piece of work!
 Not "for engineers," that's for sure January 15, 2005

I don't know how exactly this book is "for engineers." It covers the same things any other introductory C++ book does, except in a less intuitive fashion. Keep in mind that none of the examples in the book are geared toward a scientific audience; you'll find the same badly-designed and outdated string/vector/matrix classes, horrible memory management practices, and primitive console user interfaces found in any other C++ book... only for twice the cost.
I bought this book for a "scientific computation" class at the beginning of the semester. What a waste.
Over priced good reference for engineering students July 21, 1998

I was pleased to see a programming text aimed at engineering students that has the guts of what is needed for writting c++ code. I would have liked to have bought this text, but at over $40 for a paper-back it is way over priced - should have been about $25.
