About The Book:

I appreciate a well-thought out and structured approach to textbooks. This book is great to follow because Bronson does not meld more than one concept into one explanation. The book is a lengthy read, and you will largely not need to know all of the information in any one chapter, but the sheer quality of the read will keep you interested to learn more. What I would say is to use a friend or some other source to actually set up C++ on your computer; this book assumes that the software is already working for you from the beginning.

This proven, pragmatic text is designed specifically for today's first- and second-year engineering and science students with a wealth of new applications and examples taken from real situations involving electrical and structural engineering, fluid mechanics, mathematics, power generation, and heat transfer challenges.

The book starts with a solid foundation in procedural programming before moving into a reorganized, clear presentation of object-oriented concepts. Dynamic case studies, career spotlights and engineering-driven applications showcase the relevance of concepts students are learning to their careers. Helpful tips demonstrate how to avoid common C++ programming errors, while updates ensure that students are learning the most recent C++ code standards.
