C++ For Engineers and Scientists

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding!
Review: Coming from a Engineering background, a lot of the examples in other texts were a bit dry. What I needed was a book that I could use to solve Engineering type problems. This book did not disappoint and I would say that not only is it the best book for Engineers to learn C++ in, it is the best book for anyone to learn C++ in. If you need a good Engineering applications book for C++ this is the one for you.

Summary: Does not address needs of engineers and scientists
Review: Engineers and scientists use multidimensional arrays extensively. One of the real deficiencies of C and C++ is that multidimensional arrays are not built into the language (at least not in the sense of Fortran or Ada). Because of this deficiency, you must use frequent workarounds when trying to write functions that handle multidimensional arrays in which any or all dimensions might vary. Unfortunately, the Bronson book does not even indicate that such a problem exists, let alone address workarounds. The Barton book, Scientific and Engineering C++, although it is somewhat dated, is a much better book for engineers and scientists.

Summary: Good book for beginner and engineering students
Review: It is a very good book for beginners or whoever want to refresh and advance their programming skill to C++ (like me). The only problem that I have with this book is it's a little bit too wordy, some of the concepts shouldn't be too hard to explain with short paragraph or short example.
