C++ for Mathematicians: An Introduction for Students and Professionals
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
