| dc.description.abstract | Engineers use computers to solve a variety of problems ranging from the evaluation of a simple function to solving a system of nonlinear equations. Thus,C has become the language of choice for many engineers and scientists, not only because it has powerful commands and data structures, but also because it can easily be used for system-level operations. Since C is a language that a new engineer is likely to encounter in a job, it is a good choice for an introduction to computing for engineers. Therefore, this text was written to introduce engineering problem solving with the following objectives: • to develop a consistent methodology for solving engineering problems • to present the fundamental capabilities of C, the language of choice for many practicing engineers and scientists and • to illustrate the problem-solving process with C through a variety of interesting engineering examples and applications. | en_US |
