Edward Scheinerman
“For a mathematician like myself, Scheinerman’s new book is ideal.
It concentrates on the portion of C++ that will be most useful to a
mathematician. While developing the necessary tools and syntax of
C++, the book presents example programs relevant to interesting and
somewhat sophisticated mathematical problems. The reader can
proceed as far as he/she wants. Even just reading the first few
chapters of the book and writing some programs using the constructs
introduced, there is sufficient [material] for many purposes within
undergraduate mathematics … The strength of this book is the
intermingling of interesting mathematics with the ideas and syntax
of the C++ language. … The writing is very fluent and does not bog
down in endless detail as so many programming books do … In
summary, I recommend this book highly to frustrated mathematicians
wishing to learn C++ programming. You will really enjoy the
well-chosen examples and the light touch in the exposition.”
