Description
C Program Design for Engineers teaches introductory concepts and theory to engineers. It uses a procedural approach to solving engineering problems using the standardized programming language, C.The text contains thorough, yet simple coverage of the basic control structures in early chapters. C Program Design for Engineers is geared for a first course in programming to engineers. It assumes no prior knowledge of computers or programming and it prepares the student step-by-step to tackle the challenging case studies and programming projects of later chapters. This text uses widely accepted software engineering methods to design program solutions as cohesive, readable, reusable modules. Features * Based on Joan Horvath's industrial experience at Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology, the examples and programming projects cover a wide range of engineering applications. * Addresses current issues such as cellular telephone network development, space exploration, and image enhancement through exercises which are unique representations of realistic problems. * Introduces implementations of basic numerical and statistical methods commonly used by engineers.
* Includes the classic pedagogy of all Koffman and Hanly texts: syntax displays, program style section, case studies, end-of-section exercises, common error sections, chapter reviews, quick check exercises, and programming projects. 0201590646B04062001
