If you have a basic knowledge of C and want to deepen your understanding, specifically for use in scientific computing, this unique book is for you. Scientific Computing in Modern C is the first book to discuss scientific computing from a software perspective. It covers a broad range of topics - the finer points of C , specific idioms of C in scientific computing, parallelism, "carpentry" topics such as cmake, and hardware and performance - that fall outside of programming but make a programmer more productive.
