Features: This book combines C++ with a large number of scientific and engineering examples from a practical perspective. It not only explains the basic features and syntax of the C++ language but also elaborates on the ideas and techniques in C++ that have a profound impact on object-oriented programming. This book is neither focused on scientific computing or numerical analysis, nor is it simply an introduction to a programming language. Instead, it aims to help readers learn the C++ language and object-oriented programming methods. It is particularly a rare and valuable book for readers engaged in scientific and engineering research. The book provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to object-oriented programming and development, meeting the needs of people at various levels. Combining C++ with a large number of scientific and engineering examples is the greatest feature of this book. To help readers better understand and master the content of each chapter, grasp key points and difficulties, each chapter includes summaries, annotations and explanations, as well as exercises. This book is one of the most authoritative technical guides for C++ programming in scientific and engineering computing, systematically explaining object-oriented programming and development, as well as the basic features and syntax of the C++ language. The entire book uses numerous examples to help readers learn how to use the C++ language and object-oriented programming methods to develop higher-quality programs, and it reflects the current state and development trends of object-oriented programming to a sufficient extent. The book is divided into three parts: basic knowledge, general statements, and technical applications. It is suitable for researchers, engineers, and programmers engaged in scientific and engineering computing, as well as teachers and students who teach, research, and develop in this field. The book teaches readers object-oriented programming through the introduction of the C++ language and provides a large number of scientific and engineering examples. It is neither a book about scientific computing or numerical analysis, nor is it simply an introduction to programming. The book briefly introduces the basic features and syntax of C++, as these are familiar to scientific workers or engineers with programming experience, as well as any programmer with practical experience. The purpose here is not merely to introduce syntax and rules but to elaborate in detail on the ideas and techniques in C++ that have a profound impact on object-oriented programming. The book later introduces some ideas and techniques that have already been applied in practice, most of which come from scientific and engineering but can be widely applied.
