Introduction to Engineering Programming: Solving Problems with Algorithms / Edition 1

by James Paul Holloway

Overview

Introduction to Engineering Programming: Solving Problems with Algorithms provides students of engineering with the tools to think algorithmically about scientific and mathematical problems within the first and second year engineering curriculum. The text supports the teaching of basic numerical and image processing algorithms as examples of engineering design. The creative aspects of solving unfamiliar problems by using available tools—the heart of engineering education and practice-are emphasized. A concern for elegance and correctness is a core value that the text seeks to convey to students.

The text uses C++ to implement algorithms, and is presented clearly and precisely. The text emphasizes a subset of C++ that can be used to solve many problems from physics, calculus, biology and introductory engineering courses, and it de-emphasizes many features of the language that are unnecessary or ill-designed for this purpose, or too advanced to be comfortably covered in a first year college engineering course.
