This second edition of a highly successful text now updated introduces new developments like soft computing and Object Oriented Programming. This text is divided in three parts: · Programming · Applications · Software Development Coverage on CAD and its impact, C and C++ programming are presented for engineering problems with database and graphics as the bases and finite elements, optimisation and soft computing methods as applications. Initial developments towards C language and orientation to CAD in engineering applications is followed by programming approaches for engineering applications with a number of examples in C code demonstrating easy adaptability to solving problems. Emphasis is layed on data base and graphic approaches forming essential feature of engineering problem solving.

• Extensions to using finite elements, Optimisation and soft computing methods like ANN and GA form a major attraction of this edition • Internet applications and CIDD-Computer Integrated Design and Draughting are additional enhancements with exposure to JAVA, XML and Autocad to make the coverage comprehensive
