Instructor's Manual for An Introduction to C++ and Numerical Methods (gratis to those adopting the text)

An Introduction to C++ and Numerical Methods is designed specifically for students in disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and engineering who are required to take some computational component. In addition to being an introduction to C++, this text also provides clear explanations of the basics of numerical methods. After a brief introduction to scientific computing, the basic constructs of C++ are introduced in their simplest forms, allowing students to write fairly sophisticated and interesting programs. Subsequent chapters revisit these basic constructs to treat them in more detail. The text is unique for its coverage of numerical methods used in scientific and engineering computation. In addititon 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.
