Review
AThis is one of the few good application-oriented C++ books that I have come across for students and professionals in mathematics, science, and engineering....Yang makes it attractive to all professionals in these fields and promotes the use of good objects-oriented programming practices....This book is complete and well written....it can promote good design practices amoud students in science and engineering. Its precision can make it a valuable reference for professionals in these areas.AAACM COMPUTER REVIEWS

Product Description
This new text/reference presents an accessible, concise, but rather complete, introduction 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 numberic 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) run-time overhead and improve program efficiency. Topics and features: *concise coverage of C++ programming concepts with object-oriented emphasis*numerous examples, coding tools, sample programs and exercises for reinforcement and self-study purposes*develops and uses basic and advanced features, as well as standard libraries of C++*covers many fundamental numeric methods for scientific and engineering computing applications*downloadable user-defined numeric linear algebra library available from author web site 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.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars The best book around on c++ for scientific programming., 22 Jul 2001 By A Customer This is such a clear, to-the-point introduction to the subject that non-scientists might also find parts of it very useful. All jargon is well defined before being used, and the explanations are clear. The first few chapters are easy to follow, and give a more complete yet more concise account of the basics (including multi-dimensional allocatable arrays, guidance on Makefiles, etc.) than other c++ books I have read. Good examples always appear when needed, and are not given in the context of any applications which, I find, otherwise causes confusion. These chapters are more than adequate for the later ones. There are no presentation gimmicks, which many other books tend to fall back on when the authors are unable to explain something, probably because this author preferred to dedicate his time to finding clear explanations in words rather than with colour illustrations. The only possible drawback is the index, which I found a little sparse. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

To this end, basic numerical algorithms are covered in well illustrated examples, which also serve to teach the language itself. I believe this book meets its goal for the audience to which it is addressed: science students who which to learn C++ and be able to apply what they learn to problems of their interest.
