Scientific C++: Building Numerical Libraries the Object-Oriented Way

This is the book for scientists and engineers who want to learn C++ for numerical problem-solving. The benefits of object-oriented programming (in terms of efficiency, data abstraction and software component reuse) are stressed throughout in contrast to languages like Fortran. Highlights of the book include: * A comprehensive library of numerical routines illustrating the power of C++. Full listings of the programs are provided on the disk which accompanies the book. * Examples of C++ in action, geared to the needs of scientists and engineers * Extensive use of icons to highlight key points to remember, pitfalls to avoid and elegant solutions to familiar problems Scientific programmers wishing to apply the benefits of object-oriented programming to numerical applications will find a rich source of example with which to experiment.

這本書是為科學家和工程師而設計的，他們想要學習用於數值問題解決的C++語言。本書強調面向對象編程的好處（包括效率、數據抽象和軟件組件重用），與Fortran等語言形成對比。本書的亮點包括：
* 一個全面的數值例程庫，展示了C++的強大功能。書中附帶的光碟提供了程序的完整列表。
* C++在科學家和工程師需求方面的實際應用示例。
* 大量使用圖示來突出需要記住的關鍵點、需要避免的陷阱和熟悉問題的優雅解決方案。希望將面向對象編程的好處應用於數值應用程序的科學程序員將在這本書中找到豐富的實例來進行實驗。
