This course will teach the fundamentals of the C++ language. An in-depth review of the main language features will be given in the class. Where possible, examples of the use of those features will be presented using snippets taken from the context of Scientific and Technical Computing. General design strategies and well-known idioms will be discussed as a mean to avoid common pitfalls.
