C++ and Object-Oriented Numeric Computing for Scientists and Engineers

This book is an easy, concise, but rather complete introduction to ISO/ANSI C++ with special emphasis on object-oriented numeric computation for students and professionals in science and engineering. The book introduces the basic features of C++ which have equivalence in Fortran 90 or C and then concentrates on object-oriented and generic programming features which cannot be found in Fortran 90 or C. A user-defined numeric linear algebra library accompanies the book and can be downloaded from the web.
