Engineering Problem Solving with C

Although the front cover was a bit ripped and everything, the insides were still good. This book was required for a C-programming class that I am currently taking in college. Content-wise, it is pretty easy to understand. They give you example programs throughout the book so it is easy to grasp the topic at hand.

Over the past 10 years, I have recommended this book to engineers who are trying to learn C and apply it to control situations. I learned "embedded C" from this book. Especially interesting to me were some "out of the box" concepts that Dr. Etter introduces, such as structure charts in chapter 4. The methodology for problem solving is another example - a concept that engineers can grasp. Her notes on Style and Debugging are tremendous! I go back to this book often when I am working with C code.

The book presents many ready-to-use problem solving methodologies using the C language. This is a great book for those who would like to write the classical engineering or scientific applications.
