Assuming no previous knowledge of C, this is the only book to thoroughly teach the C programming language while providing a wealth of current, real-world applications and examples drawn from the scientific and engineering fields. As engineers and scientists switch to C from Fortran in increasing numbers, this book solidly prepares students in these fields with numerous end-of-chapter exercises, complete and annotated program listings, and ample reference material all geared specifically towards their fields of study. Thus, it allows students to fully exploit the potential uses of C in their chosen fields.




Comprehensive, in-depth C coverage with a very clear presentation.
Many current applications of C to science and engineering are presented, giving relevant uses of C in real world situations.
Provides over 150 complete programs, with detailed step-by-step explanations and commentary, drawn from the scientific and engineering domains — Clearly showing how to write complete, functional programs.
Copious examples throughout offer concrete demonstrations of methods and concepts. Over 300 included.
Contains numerous (650) end-of section exercises, immediately checking student understanding and providing feedback. Hints are provided at the end of the book for odd-numbered exercises.
Good coverage of C pitfalls and traps in Common Programming Errors section.
Provides an array of appendices for reference.

• ASCII table.
• UNIX specific compilers.
• Summary of C language.
• How to run programs in specific domains (e.g. Vax, Borland, etc...)
• Syntax diagrams of C.
