Synopsis

Focusing on five major engineering/scientific applications as examples, this volume presents a design process for solving engineering problems, and then develops corresponding solutions using ANSI C. An accompanying diskette contains all the example problems and data files used in the book.

From the Back Cover

Key Benefit: C is the language of choice of many practicing engineers and scientists who use computers to solve a variety of problems ranging from the evaluation of a simple function to solving a system of non-linear equations. Focusing on five major engineering/scientific applications as examples, this volume presents a design process for solving engineering problems, and then develops corresponding solutions using ANSI C. Key Topics: Considers the fundamental topics of control structures, functions, arrays, character strings, pointers, and dynamic memory allocation; presents a top-down, stepwise refined, five-step process for solving engineering and scientific problems, with emphasis on readability and documentation in the development of programs; discusses numerical techniques that are commonly used in solving engineering problems; and develops a complete C program using the five-step process. The real-world engineering and scientific examples and problems center around a theme of grand challenges -- prediction of weather, climate, and global change; computerized speech understanding; mapping of the human genome; improvements in vehicle performance; and enhanced oil and gas recovery. An accompanying diskette contains all the example programs and data files used in the book. Market: For engineers and scientists who want to use ANSI C to solve practical engineering and scientific problems.
