Based on a best seller, this book is appropriate for introductory level programming in C and scientific programming in C courses found in a variety of science, math and engineering departments as well as in some technical schools.

Assuming no previous knowledge of C, this is the only book to thoroughly teach the C programming language while providing a wealth of current, real-world applications and examples drawn from the scientific and engineering fields. As engineers and scientists switch to C from Fortran in increasing numbers, this book solidly prepares students in these fields with numerous end-of-chapter exercises, complete and annotated program listings, and ample reference material all geared specifically towards their fields of study. Thus, it allows students to fully exploit the potential uses of C in their chosen fields.

  • Comprehensive, in-depth C coverage with a very clear presentation. Pg.___
  • Many current applications of C to science and engineering are presented, giving relevant uses of C in real world situations. Pg.___
  • Provides over 150 complete programs, with detailed step-by-step explanations and commentary, drawn from the scientific and engineering domains — Clearly showing how to write complete, functional programs. Pg.___
  • Copious examples throughout offer concrete demonstrations of methods and concepts. Over 300 included.
  • Contains numerous (650) end-of section exercises, immediately checking student understanding and providing feedback. Hints are provided at the end of the book for odd-numbered exercises. Pg.___
  • Good coverage of C pitfalls and traps in Common Programming Errors section.
  • Provides an array of appendices for reference.

    • ASCII table. Pg.___

    • UNIX specific compilers.

    • Summary of C language. Pg.___
