'… a very valuable, comprehensive reference for users of public domain key programming languages. Undergraduate and graduate students in physical sciences and engineering and working scientists will benefit from this short course on computational science.' Axel Mainzer Koenig, Optics and Photonics News (osa-opn.org) Informationen zum Autor David Yevick is a Professor of Physics at the University of Waterloo. He has been engaged for 30 years in scientific programming in various fields of optical communications and solid state physics at numerous university and industrial establishments, where he performed pioneering work on the numerical modelling of optical communication devices and systems. Dr Yevick is currently a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the Optical Society of America as well as a registered Professional Engineer (Ontario). He has taught scientific and engineering programming for over 20 years and has authored or co-authored over 170 refereed journal articles. Klappentext A concise, comprehensive one-stop overview of three key programming languages, C++, Java and Octave, for students, instructors and scientific programmers.Provides a concise yet comprehensive one-stop course in three key programming languages, C++, Java and Octave (a freeware alternative to MATLAB). Employing only public-domain software, this is an invaluable introduction for undergraduate and graduate students in the physical sciences or engineering and a key reference for instructors and scientific programmers.
