Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book, based on the best-seller APPLICATIONS PROGRAMMING IN ANSI C, includes one of the clearest introductions to C programming available, and assumes no prior programming knowledge. Their new book reflects the clear presentation and excellent examples and programming exercises for which the authors have become well known. KEY TOPICS: Includes nearly 300 numbered examples which show the purpose of various C features and explains how to use C in a wide range of environments. Common programming error sections highlight easily misunderstood aspects of the C language. MARKET: Of interest to engineers and scientists.

Includes index.

CHOICE Review

The C programming language is currently the most popular general-purpose language and, because it compiles to highly efficient machine code, it is particularly well-suited to scientific and engineering applications. Based on the best-seller Applications Programming in ANSI C (3rd ed., 1996) by the same authors, this book is an excellent introduction to the C programming language. Although primarily intended for a one-term course in programming in C for scientists and engineers, it is also quite suitable for those interested in learning the language on their own. It assumes no prior programming knowledge and has an Internet Web site that provides solid support to help the reader. The organization enables readers to write simple but useful programs immediately and to skip the more esoteric parts of the language. Numerous examples and exercises cover a wide range of scientific and engineering real-world applications, more than 150 programming exercises, lists of common programming errors, figures, and a look ahead to C++ programming. Overall, an excellent work, highly recommended. Undergraduates; two-year technical program students. C. Tappert United States Military Academy
