As scientific and engineering projects grow larger and more complex, it is increasingly likely that those projects will be written in C++. With embedded hardware growing more powerful, much of its software is moving to C++, too. Mastering C++ gives you strong skills for programming at nearly every level, from "close to the hardware" to the highest-level abstractions. In short, C++ is a language that scientific and technical practitioners need to know. Peter Gottschling's Discovering Modern C++ is an intensive guide for anyone who needs to master the advanced features of C++ quickly. It introduces the powerful features of C++ 14 most useful for scientific and engineering applications, without assuming previous programming or C++ experience. This book is designed to help youget started rapidly and then master increasingly robust features, from lambdas to expression templates. Read it at your own pace: straight to the point; by following its main path; or more thoroughly, by exploring its additional examples and background information.You'll learn how to take advantage of the powerful libraries available to C++ programmers: both the Standard Template Library (STL) and scientific libraries for arithmetic, linear algebra, differential equations, and graphs. Throughout, Gottschling demonstrates how to write clear and expressive software using object orientation, generics, metaprogramming, concurrency, and procedural techniques. By the time you're finished, you'll have mastered all the abstractions you need to write C++ programs with exceptional quality and performance.
