Programming in C++ for Engineering and Science (Paperback)

Developed from the author’s many years of teaching computing courses, Programming in C++ for Engineering and Science guides students in designing programs to solve real problems encountered in engineering and scientific applications. These problems include radioactive decay, pollution indexes, digital circuits, differential equations, Internet addresses, data analysis, simulation, quality control, electrical networks, data encryption, beam deflection, and many other areas.

To make it easier for novices to develop programs, the author uses an object-centered design approach that helps students identify the objects in a problem and the operations needed; develop an algorithm for processing; implement the objects, operations, and algorithm in a program; and test, correct, and revise the program. He also revisits topics in greater detail as the text progresses. By the end of the book, students will have a solid understanding of how C++ can be used to process complex objects, including how classes can be built to model objects.

《C++程式設計：工程與科學應用》是根據作者多年的計算機課程教學經驗而開發的，引導學生設計解決工程和科學應用中遇到的實際問題的程式。這些問題包括放射性衰變、污染指數、數字電路、微分方程、網際網路地址、數據分析、模擬、質量控制、電路網絡、數據加密、梁挠曲等等領域。

為了讓初學者更容易開發程式，作者使用了以物件為中心的設計方法，幫助學生識別問題中的物件和所需的操作；制定處理的演算法；在程式中實現物件、操作和演算法；並測試、修正和修改程式。隨著教材的進展，作者還會更詳細地講解相關主題。通過本書的學習，學生將對如何使用C++處理複雜物件有著扎實的理解，包括如何建立類來模擬物件。

此外，本書的網站http://cs.calvin.edu/books/c++/engr-sci提供了源代碼、擴展演示、相關網站連結、參考資料、實驗練習和專案。對於教師，還提供了練習解答和課堂使用的PowerPoint幻燈片，需符合相應的課程採用條件方可獲得。
