Synopsis

Geared primarily for the first programming course taken by engineers, this text offers a concise and practical introduction to C++ and features an attractive array of engineering problems and supportive tutorial examples. Using the principles of problem solving decomposition and top-down design, the text follows the evolution of programming ideas from the use of a single function to the use of a structure chart and functions to modularize, and finally to the use of object-oriented programming.
