Review text

This book is an introduction to ISO/ANSI C++ programming language outlining its object-oriented features in the context of numeric applications. The book has three main parts. The first part covering chapters 1 to 4 presents the basic aspects of C++ language: types, expressions, statements, derived types, functions, standard libraries. The second part covering chapters 5 to 9 deals with the object-oriented aspects of C++: classes, operator overloading, templates, inheritance, exception handling. The last part -- chapters 10 and 11 -- provides a description of the standard libraries and containers -- linked lists, sets, vectors, maps, stacks and queues -- and algorithms -- searching and sorting problems -. All the examples and exercises are numeric applications. The last chapter presents two methods -- preconditioned conjugate gradient and generalized minimum residual -- for solving linear systems. The book is intended to be a concise guide to C++ language for students and professionals in science and engineering; the author strongly arguing that C++ is much easier to program and more robust than Fortran or C.
