Summary

Unique in approach, this introduction to computation teaches students to think algorithmically and focuses on problem solving. The C Programming language is introduced on an as needed basis.

Features

considers many different algorithmic areas -- including numerical methods, matrix methods, sorting, searching, graphics and simulation.
Algorithms are presented in the context of computational problems students will face and are followed by complete computer programs and uses programming projects to illustrate the application of those methods to diverse problems in engineering, science,management, and planning -- involving mechanics, heat transfer, operations research, game theory, matrix algebra, queueing, telecommunications, robotics, and computer aided drafting.
