Readers can pick up this book and become familiar with C++ in a short time. Stan has taken a very broad and complicated topic and reduced it to the essentials that budding C++ programmers need to know to write real programs. His case study is effective and provides a familiar thread throughout the book.
A fast customizable function for locating and measuring the peaks in noisy time-series signals. Adjustable parameters allow discrimination of "real" signal peaks from noise and background.
A fast customizable function for locating and measuring the peaks in noisy time-series signals. Adjustable parameters allow discrimination of "real" signal peaks from noise and background. Determines the position, height, and width of each peak by least-squares curve-fitting.
The program md.f implements a simple molecular dynamics simulation in continuous real space. The velocity Verlet algorithm is used to implement the time stepping. The force and energy computations are performed in parallel, as is the time integration. (The program uses some Fortran90 features, so an F90 compiler may be needed.)
Imperfect C++ Practical Solutions for Real-Life Programming
C++, although a marvelous language, isn t perfect. Matthew Wilson has been working with it for over a decade, and during that time he has found inherent limitations that require skillful workarounds. In this book, he doesn t just tell you what s wrong with C++, but offers practical techniques and tools for writing code that s more robust, flexible, efficient, and maintainable. He shows you how to tame C++ s complexity, cut through its vast array of paradigms, take back control over your code--and get far better results.
