About the Book
Essential C++ for Engineers and Scientists
zeros in on the key elements of good programming and C++, using a multitude
of interesting and appropriate engineering and scientific examples. This
book covers the features of C++ needed for writing engineering programs,
including many features of object-oriented programming. Early on, the book
makes some simplifying assumptions that allow the use of C++ topics without
lengthy explanation, and then later discusses the intricacies of the features.
Readers will come away with the confidence needed to solve problems with
C++.
