More about the book
The text addresses two significant trends in undergraduate engineering and science education: the shift away from traditional programming courses, particularly Fortran 77, towards more modern languages like C and C++. It highlights the decline of Pascal in scientific computing and the delayed adoption of Fortran 90. Additionally, it discusses the evolving curriculum that emphasizes practical engineering applications earlier in students' education, contrasting with the previous focus on theoretical and mathematical foundations.
