Product Description

Product Description
Java is currently enjoying immense success and is taught in hundreds of universities around the world. It is a modern, portable, object-oriented language and before long, it could also be the language of choice for many science and engineering students.

Introductory Java for Scientists and Engineers provides an extremely accessible and thorough introduction to Java for science and engineering students. It takes the reader gradually through the language features, standard libraries and object orientation before moving on to discuss a scientific graphics library and a numerical library for Java. All the examples perform the kind of computations that will be of interest to a scientific programmer.


From the Back Cover
Java is currently enjoying immense success and is taught in hundreds of universities around the world. It is a portable, object-oriented language and could soon be the language of choice for students across scientific and engineering disciplines.

Introductory Java for Scientists and Engineers provides an extremely accessible and thorough introduction to Java for science and engineering students. The first part takes the reader gradually through the language features, standard libraries and object orientation. The second part moves on to discuss libraries for scientific graphics and numerics and contains chapters introducing software engineering, physical modelling and more serious numerical algorithms.

Unlike most other books on Java, discussion is not dominated by writing user interface code, and all of the examples perform the kind of computations that will be of interest to a scientific programmer.

Features:

- Written entirely for the Java 2 platform, as supported by JDK 1.2

- Scientific and engineering examples thoughout

- Chapter objectives, summaries and end of chapter exercises

- No previous knowledge of programming required

- Includes conversion material for Pascal, Fortran, C and C++

- Coverage of two useful libraries: the JNL, a numerical library for Java and the JSGL, a scientific graphics library for Java

- Accompanying website at http://www.jscieng.co.uk/ containing examples, code and links to other useful resources

- Clear and careful explanation throughout

- Attractive and reader-friendly presentation

4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal book for engineering students!, 1 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This book is the perfect companion for an engineering student who needs to learn Java fast. It has a simple and effective introduction into the basics of Java, eliminating most of the computer jargon and gets straight to the point. Concentrating mainly on methods which are usefull to an engineers.

The examples in the book, are clear and based entirely on maths and physics problems. With the downloads availiable on their website it reduces the need for lengthy sessions copying code from the book. Included on the website is a package for GUIs, allowing you to illustrate your numerical output of your program with charts and graphs.

The only fault I can find in the book, is the lack of data manipulation. It overlooks the fact that the main reason for devising an engineering computer program is to aid the engineer/scientist in the laboratory. A computer program should be able to deal with large amounts of data inputted by the user and produce results in the form of graphs and tables, cutting out the need for manual calculations.

The majority of books which are aimed at the same audience are also lacking in this area. I think this would be a valuable addition to any Java book aimed at engineers!
