Short Description
|
|
In this core course C6 of the COMMAS master of science program, we want
learn how to write scientific programs in C++. Starting from the very
beginning the C++ programming language is introduced. The newly acquired
knowledge is used to implement numerical algorithms for
interpolation, differentiation, integration and the solution of linear
equation systems.

Prerequisites
|
- Basic knowledge of numerical mathematics
- Willingness to do the exercises

C++ Tutorials
There is a large variety of C++ tutorials and online courses on the web. Here is a small
selection in random order:
C++ Reference
A very usefull overview of C++ language features (more for the advanced programmer) gives
C/C++ Reference
Free C++ Books
Other useful books
- Bjarne Stroustrup: The C++ Programming Language, 3rd ed., Addison-Wesley Longman, 1997. This is still THE book on C++ programming written by the inventor of C++.
- Nicolai M. Josuttis: The C++ Standard Library - A Tutorial and Reference, 1st ed., Addison-Wesley, 1999. A very good guide to the usage of the C++ Standard Library with many helpful
example programs.
- Final Draft of the C++ Standard: The final
draft is identical to the final standard in all essential points. In contrast to the final standard
which can be bought at e.g. www.ansi.org it is available for free.
C++-Compilers for Windows
For a start I would suggest to use Dev-C++.
- Dev-C++ An integrated developmend
environment using MinGW (a windows version of g++). You can find an english tutorial how to use it here
- MinGW A command line
version of the c++ compiler. A tutorial how
to install MinGW can be found here.
You will additionally need an editor. You can either use the Windows
Editor or WordPad both can be found under Start->All Programs->Accessories, or you can e.g.
download NotePad++, which has syntax highlighting...
- Eclipse is a very powerful IDE, but
also with a lot of features (more for the advanced programmer)
There are also versions of commercial C++ compilers which are available for free if only
used privately:
Latex
Latex is a system for typesetting texts and is especially usefull for large texts and for texts with many mathematical formulae. A short introduction to Latex can be found here. To facilitate the use of Latex, there are special editors available:
- Texmaker is a Latex environment which is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and has an easy windows installer.
- Lyx is the attempt to combine the strength of Latex and the comfort of a WYSIWIG-Textprocessor and is also available for Windows and Linux.
- Kile is a very comfortable Latex-Environment for Linux.
