SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING: C-LANGUAGE, ALGORITHMS AND MODELS IN SCIENCE

The book teaches a student to model a scientific problem and write a computer program in C language to solve that problem. To do that, the book first introduces the student to the basics of C language, dealing with all syntactical aspects, but without the pedantic content of a typical programming language manual. Then the book describes and discusses many algorithms commonly used in scientific applications (e.g. searching, graphs, statistics, equation solving, Monte Carlo methods etc.).

This important book fills a gap in current available bibliography. There are many manuals for programming in C, but they never explain programming technicalities to solve a given problem. This book illustrates many relevant algorithms and shows how to translate them in a working computer program.

這本書教導學生如何將科學問題建模並使用C語言編寫電腦程式來解決問題。為了達到這個目的，該書首先介紹了C語言的基礎知識，涵蓋了所有的語法方面，但不像典型的程式語言手冊那樣冗長。然後，該書描述並討論了許多在科學應用中常用的算法（例如搜索、圖形、統計、方程求解、蒙特卡羅方法等）。

這本重要的書填補了現有文獻中的一個空白。有很多關於C語言編程的手冊，但它們從來沒有解釋如何使用編程技巧來解決特定問題。這本書演示了許多相關的算法，並展示了如何將它們轉化為可運行的電腦程式。
