Description
Springer Introducing C++ for Scientists Engineers and Mathematicians 2001 Edition by Derek Capper
Written especially for scientists, engineers and mathematicians, this book has been extensively updated and revised to conform to the 1998 ANSI/ISO C++ Standard. It now includes all the recent developments in C++ . Amongst its novel features is that no knowledge of programming is assumed. It is as much for the beginner in programming as it is for the newcomer to C++. Plenty of relevant examples are included throughout the book, most of which are slanted towards numerical applications, and it is this bias that makes it unique in its field and of particular interest to those who have to work with figures.
