Title: C++ and Object-oriented Numeric Computing for Scientists and Engineers
Description: "This new text/reference presents an accessible, concise, but rather complete, introdution to the C++ programming language with special emphasis on object-oriented numeric computation for scientific and engineering program development. The description of the language is in compliance with ISO/ANSI standards and is platform independent for maximum versatility.".

"Requiring only basic calculus and linear algebra as prerequisites, the book introduces concepts, techniques, and standard libraries of C++ in a manner that is easy to understand and uses such familiar examples as vectors, matrices, integrals, and complex numbers.

It also contains an introduction to C++ programs for applications with many numeric methods that are fundamental to science and engineering computing: polynomial evaluation and interpolation; numeric integration; methods for solving nonlinear equations; systems of linear equations in full, band, and sparse matrix storage formats; and ordinary and partial differential equations.

Numerous techniques and examples are provided on how to reduce (C and FORTRAN style) run-time overhead and improve program efficiency.".

"With an accessible style, intuitive topic development, and numerous examples, the book is an excellent resource and guide to the power, versatility, and efficiency of C++ programming for numeric computing applications. Advanced students, practitioners, and professionals in computer science, engineering, and scientific computing in general will find the book a practical guide and resource for their work and applications program development."--BOOK JACKET.
