Reviews / Votes
"The best features of this test are the format, using chapter objectives, summaries keyed to the objectives, programming summaries, debugging and styles notes, and complete examples using the problem solving method."-Virgil Thomason, UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE AT CHATTANOOGA "Dr. Etter's strength is the straight forward way she presents the material. She motivates the topic with a well chosen example and then builds up to the solution in almost a menu driven way."-Nurgon Erdol, FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY "The Problem Statements are extremely valuable. Topics simply cannot be presented without exploring practical examples. Etter's systematic approach to solving problems is clear and straightforward."-Howard Fulmer, VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY "The book does not assume an advanced math background which makes it appropriate for lower level students. It introduces the concepts in a concise and clear manner without overwhelming the student with huge amounts of detail that can be confusing to a beginner programmer."-Mohammad Saed, TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY "The introduction of the Engineering Grand Challenges at the beginning of each chapter adds a sense of purpose to the material and greatly increases the value of the text. The inclusion of examples related to each Grand Challenge also adds value to the book and links together the chapters into one cohesive unit."-Jeffrey Ringenberg, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGANMore details
