Using your existing knowledge of Fortran, C++ for Fortran Programmers gets you up and running with C++ quickly. By learning how individual elements of a Fortran program compare and translate into C++, this book helps you make a smooth transition to C++ and object-oriented concepts. Best-selling author and C++ authority, Ira Pohl, uses his trademark "dissection" technique to illustrate the underlying structure of programs and help you understand design trade-offs. Scientific and engineering coding examples are featured throughout the text.

The book provides a smooth transition to C++ and object-oriented programming for programmers already familiar with Fortran, and includes C++ to Fortran equivalencies making it easy to move from one language to another. Engineering computations are featured throughout; important scientific types such as complex number, vector and polynomial are implemented. It also incorporates the proposed ANSI C++ Standard including bool, namespaces, and the STL library, and features a chapter on the use of STL and efficient generic programming. All program code is fully tested and available on the World Wide Web.
