About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“There are many graphs and pseudocode listings in C++, Python, Fortran, Java, and other programming languages. … Teachers could use these to teach students the basics only, or they could add methodology to show students how to address a specific problem. Readers will find many numerical analysis examples that make the book friendlier to tactile learners who absorb knowledge by exploring the physical world around them. … high school students studying engineering, future graphic designers, and students … will benefit from reading this book.” (Jolanta Mizera-Pietraszko, ACM Computing Reviews, June, 2012)
