Scientific programming. C-language, algorithms and models in science (Q2857278)

This is a textbook on the C programming language, which takes a different approach than most other textbooks. From the beginning, the programming language is considered in the context of specific tasks in the field of scientific problems. Here, the process of the implementation of an algorithm into an executable program is in the foreground.NEWLINENEWLINEThe book is designed for a three-part course. No knowledge of programming is required for the first part, dealing with elementary concepts of C. On the exact completeness of all details of a programming language, as it exists in the usual textbooks, is renounced in favor to the practical application. The second part deals with advanced programming and simple algorithms. Several algorithms for integration, differential equations, (pseudo) random numbers and statistical problems and there efficient implementation are treated. The third part presents many advanced algorithms and specialized data structures for recursive programming, graph algorithms, the Monte Carlo method and stochastic algorithms.NEWLINENEWLINEIt should be noted that this book is intended primarily for students of scientific disciplines that use programming as a tool for solving their problems. Due to the practice-oriented consideration of C programming a better learning success is achieved than with a conventional C programming guide.
