Description:

Introduce the power and practicality of C++ programming to entry-level engineers with Bronson's C++ FOR ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS, 4E. This proven, pragmatic text is designed specifically for today's first- and second-year engineering and science students with a wealth of new applications and examples taken from real situations involving electrical and structural engineering, fluid mechanics, mathematics, power generation, and heat transfer challenges.

The book starts with a solid foundation in procedural programming before moving into a reorganized, clear presentation of object-oriented concepts. Dynamic case studies, career spotlights and engineering-driven applications showcase the relevance of concepts students are learning to their careers. Helpful tips demonstrate how to avoid common C++ programming errors, while updates ensure that students are learning the most recent C++ code standards.

Features:

  • COMPLETELY REORGANIZED PART II PROVIDES ADDITIONAL CLARITY WITH TIMELY UPDATES OF OBJECT-ORIENTED CONCEPTS. This powerful, practical book includes an even more effective, fully rewritten Part II with reorganized presentations and the latest object-oriented material and concepts.
  • EXPANDED, REVISED EXERCISES THROUGHOUT THIS EDITION REFLECT TODAY'S LATEST ENGINEERING-BASED CHALLENGES. Intriguing new engineering-driven exercises throughout this edition gives students practice working with today's most recent developments, while new contemporary examples effectively illustrate the latest engineering concepts in action. Exercises reinforce the book's solid foundation in procedural programming, which is most often used to solve today's engineering and scientific challenges.
  • CAPSTONE CHAPTER IS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE. For your convenience and flexibility, the final chapter (Chapter 15) of this edition is available online through the instructor's section of this edition's companion website.
  • COVERAGE STARTS WITH SOLID INTRODUCTION TO PROCEDURAL PROGRAMMING BEFORE INTRODUCING OBJECT-ORIENTED DESIGN.
