Reviews"Ortega and Grimshaw direct their book toward undergraduate studentstaking a course of study in numerical methods. Unlike many earlier books writtenfor use with the BASIC or FORTRAN programming languages, this one gives thereader an introduction to implementing numerical methods using C++. Since C++ islikely one of the more widely used languages of the current day in engineeringand science, this treatment is very appropriate. No previous programmingexperience is required to use this book. The authors take a very gentle andgradual approach to introducing programming concepts. Nevertheless, asignificant number of numerical methods are covered . . . The quality of thepresentation is high, and the book includes a generous number of figures andtables. 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, "An excellent introduction to both C++ and numerical methods. The writing is clear, concise, and very readable.

SynopsisAn 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 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., An Introduction to C++ and Numerical Methods provides a brief yet comprehensive introduction to programming and numerical methods for students in engineering, chemistry, physics, and applied mathematics. It is suitable for second semester or second year students who have had at least a semester of calculus. This text offers students both an introduction to programming in C++ and clear explanations of the basics of numerical methods, includingnumerical integration and the solution of ordinary differential equations, nonlinear equations, and systems of linear equations. It is unique among textbooks at this level in its extensive coverage of numericalmethods used in scientific and engineering computation. An Introduction to C++ and Numerical Methods is designed to help students move quickly into writing interesting and sophisticated programs. The text begins with an introduction to scientific computing and the basic constructs of C++, including variables and assignment, typing, if statements, for and while loops, functions, one-dimensional arrays, and the cout and cin objects. After students have gained some experiencewith programming using these constructs, the topics are later revisited in greater detail, leading up to the important topic of classes and object-oriented programming. Throughout the text Ortega and Grimshawemphasize the basic paradigms for constructing good programs and detecting errors., An Introduction to C++ and Numerical Methods provides a brief yet comprehensive introduction to programming and numerical methods for students in engineering, chemistry, physics, and applied mathematics.
