This book assumes you have no previous programming background. It uses a step-by-step
building block approach to gradiently learn how to solve computer science and engineering
problems in the C++ language.
Each chapter has three sections. Section A presents the basic theory and principles of the
current topic. Section B illustrates these basic principles by using applications that are often
found in computer science. Section C illustrates these basic principles by using applications that
may be found in the various engineering disciplines. You should study the basic theory Section A
and then study the appropriate application section. Of course, anyone can benefit by also
reviewing the other application area, since they are frequently interrelated.
The book comes with a self-extracting zip file containing all of the sample programs in
the book along with all of the test data required for the programming assignments.
