I'm a master's student in Math interested in Numerical Analysis. I know there are lots of questions like that on this site, but I think this is the best place to ask. So, I'm looking for an introductory book to C++ with a focus on scientific computing.

Let me clarify my situation: I've been an intensive Matlab user and I also can program quite well with Python. I can build and use myself simple classes for numerical methods and I know the basics of OOP. But, due to the performance issues, my professor told me to start learning C++ and I really want to learn it.

So, I think I need a book which is both introductory to the language and both aimed at scientific computing/numerical analysis, but I don't know how to choose it, because just by looking on the internet I can't make a decision on my own.

  • $\begingroup$ Unless this book has been updated, it misses the C++11/14/17 standards, which make your life a whole lot easier. You can not said to have learned C++ these days from a book that does not at least use C++11. $\endgroup$
