This book focuses on systematic software design approach in C for applications in engineering and science following the latest standard developed by the ANSI C/ISO C Standard Committees called C99.

To learn to program is to be initiated into an entirely new way of thinking about engineering, mathematics, and the world in general. Computation is integral to all modern engineering disciplines, so the better you are at programming, the better you will be in your chosen field. The author departs radically from the typical presentation by teaching concepts and techniques in a rigorous manner rather than listing how to use libraries and functions. He presents pointers in the very first chapter as part of the development of a computational model that facilitates an ab initio presentation of subjects such as function calls, call-by-reference, arrays, the stack, and the heap. The model also allows students to practice the essential skill of memory manipulation throughout the entire course rather than just at the end. As a result, this textbook goes further than is typical for a one-semester course -- abstract data types and linked lists, for example, are covered in depth. The computational model will also serve students in their adventures with programming beyond the course: instead of falling back on rules, they can think through the model to decide how a new programming concept fits with what they already know. The book is appropriate for undergraduate students of engineering and computer science, and graduate students of other disciplines. It contains many exercises integrated into the main text, and the author has made the source code available online.

This text teaches the essentials of C programming, concentrating on what readers need to know in order to produce stand-alone programs and so solve typical scientific and engineering problems. It is a learning-by-doing book, with many examples and exercises, and lays a foundation of scientific programming concepts and techniques that will prove valuable for those who might eventually move on to another language. Written for undergraduates who are familiar with computers and typical applications but are new to programming.

With C++ gaining a stronghold in the engineering and scientific communities, Bronson's book makes C++ accessible to first level engineering students. Featuring a wealth of practical, engineering-oriented examples and applications, the book teaches the fundamentals of the C++ language with a gradual refinement of programming skills from a procedural to an object orientation. Part One presents procedural programming with an emphasis on modular program design, and helps readers understand the importance of writing programs that can be easily modified and maintained. Part Two on object-oriented programming and Part Three on data structures are interchangeable for teaching flexibility. Problem solving techniques, software engineering, and completed applications are emphasized throughout.

The main goal of this book is to give the readers a thorough understanding of the C Programming language. The book is specially designed for Engineering graduates who do not have a programming background. We have tried to explain every concept in an easy-to-understand language with a supplement of Engineering examples. As a result, the book has enough information to give readers the confidence they need to create their C programmes to solve various engineering problems computationally.

Specialisation in software has become a thing of the past. With the move towards graphical user interface programming, engineers must have a sound knowledge of several programming languages and for the first time most of the main technical languages are introduced in a single volume.All the example programs included relate to real life applications to provide a long needed reference that students will find invaluable throughout their studies, and a definitive guide for professional developers requiring an insight into other languages. Using C++ and Pascal to provide a basic grounding in software development the author then goes on to introduce more advanced concepts such as object-orientated design through the development of C++. Sections on Visual Basic and 80X86 Assembly Language follow before Java, Windows, NT and DOS are introduced, finishing with an overview of the UNIX system.
