C Fundamentals for Engineers: C-Based Numerical Methods, Data Structures, and High-Performance Algorithms for Professional Engineers

Why You Need This Book Unlock the full computational power of C—the language behind spacecraft navigation, embedded control loops, and real-time analytics. From precision floating-point arithmetic to multithreaded finite-difference solvers, this reference distills decades of engineering know-how into a single volume designed to accelerate your projects and your career. What You’ll Master • Numerical Stability & Precision Control – tame rounding error and overflow before they derail your simulation. • Matrix & Vector Algebra – implement LU decomposition, Conjugate Gradient, and Singular Value Decomposition from scratch. • Signal Processing in C – build FFTs, FIR filters, and frequency-response analyzers without external libraries. • Optimization Toolkits – code Gradient Descent, Newton–Raphson, and constrained Lagrange solvers for design and calibration. • Probability & Monte Carlo – generate random variates, MCMC chains, and statistical tests for risk analysis. • High-Performance Parallelism – harness pthreads and OpenMP with cache-aware data layouts for massive speedups. • Control & Estimation Algorithms – craft rock-solid PID loops, Kalman filters, and state-space models directly in C. Built for Working Engineers • Step-by-step code listings ready to drop into production. • Engineering-grade explanations of why each algorithm works, not just how. • Portable, standards-compliant techniques validated on Windows, Linux, and macOS toolchains. • Designed to pair with MATLAB, Python, and Fortran workflows for seamless integration. Perfect For • Mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineers who demand deterministic performance. • Applied scientists moving prototypes out of spreadsheets and into optimized C. • Senior students preparing for industry or graduate research.
