An Introduction to C++ and Numerical Methods

"An excellent introduction to both C++ and numerical methods. The writing is clear, concise, and very readable. A great book!"--Anton Kruger, The University of Iowa "Ortega and Grimshaw direct their book toward undergraduate students taking a course of study in numerical methods. Unlike many earlier books written for use with the BASIC or FORTRAN programming languages, this one gives the reader an introduction to implementing numerical methods using C++. Since C++ is likely one of the more widely used languages of the current day in engineering and science, this treatment is very appropriate. No previous programming experience is required to use this book. The authors take a very gentle and gradual approach to introducing programming concepts. Nevertheless, a significant number of numerical methods are covered . . . The quality of the presentation is high, and the book includes a generous number of figures and tables. Undergraduates."--Choice "This is an excellent text and the Instructor's Manual is very helpful. The numerous examples from engineering make this the best text for engineering courses in C++."--Rolph W. Pike, Louisian State University

In addition to being an introduction to C++, this text also provides clear explanations of the basics of numerical methods, and is unique for its coverage of numerical methods used in scientific and engineering computation. In addition there is a general discussion of some of the basic paradigms for writing good programs and detecting errors. The result is a brief yet comprehensive treatment of the subject.
