✦ Synopsis

This text introduces the C programming language using a range of engineering and science applications in the examples and exercises. The book assumes no programming experience and is suitable for an introduction to programming course (using C instead of Fortran or Pascal). Structured programming principles are introduced early and used throughout. The text includes clear explanations and many example programs (using ANSI C) show C as a powerful tool in engineering and science applications. It also includes exercises after each section, common programming error sections, and chapter summaries.
