Java provides the engineer and scientist with an efficient and easy-to-use tool for problem solving in today's web based environment. Following on from the highly successful Java Gently this new text draws on a wide range of engineering and scientific problems to teach Java by example.  Java Gently for Engineers and Scientists aims to introduce programming through examples of problems that engineers and scientists may encounter. Some of these are numerical in nature, while others are concerned with handling data derived from a wide variety of sources. The whole of the Java language is covered, and the standard of programming is based firmly in the style of object-oriented, well-structured, readable, maintainable and visually attractive programs.
