Practical Numerical C Programming: Finance, Engineering, and Physics Applications

Chapter 1 Review of C               Review of C and SDK with reference to the topics in this book.               Reminds the reader of C syntax.                Use loops, subroutines, file access.               Create typical programs in C using SDK               Exercises
PART 1 - FINANCIAL APPLICATIONS
Chapter 2 Regression:                Use regression techniques to find the pattern for depreciation of the value of cars over a period of years.Program written will create graphical displays to illustrate the topic.                              Exercises
Chapter 3 Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PMCC):                Use this technique to illustrate the accuracy (or otherwise) of regression techniques.Exercises
Chapter 4 : Asset PricingUse the past stock values of an Asset to predict what its future values may be using Monte Carlo methods.Graphics displays to illustrate the topic.               Exercises

PART 2 - ENGINEERING/INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL  APPLICATIONS
Chapter 5: Supermarket Stock Reordering SimulationCreate a file of stock for a supermarket.  Simulate the buying of stock by shoppers. Check the remaining stock. If it is too low print a message to reorder the stock.Exercises
Chapter 6: Flight Information Boards at AirportsCreate a file of arrivals for an airport.  Send data to the airport's display boards to show the current situation for the incoming flights. Update a flight and refresh the information to the display  boards.ExercisesChapter 6 : Power Plant ControlProgram receives messages about pressures, temperatures, flow rates etc for a power plant. The program checks for values outside safety ranges and acts upon any problem values by sending messages to both the gauges and the managers responsible for them.Exercises

PART 3 - PHYSICS APPLICATIONS
Chapter 8 Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy SimulationUse formulas for Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy to show how one falls at the same rate as the other rises.Exercises
Chapter 9 Pendulum Simulation Use formulas for the motion of a pendulum to create a graph to illustrate the mathematical relationship on a graph . Exercises
Chapter 10: Centre of Mass Calculation               Calculate the centre of mass of unusually-shaped objects.               Exercises
Chapter 11 : Brownian MotionSimulate the patterns of particles moving in gases or solids.Graphical displays to illustrate the topic.Exercises
Chapter 12 Vacancy Model of Atoms Moving in SolidsDemonstrate the Vacancy Model of atoms moving in solids where they can move into empty sites within the solid. Graphical displays will show the movement of the atoms within a 2D site.Exercises
