    Unified Software Design with Applications in C++ and C#

    This first chapter on a defined process for software design that subsumes several other methods. Now that C++11/C++14 and C# are here we can easily map design blueprints to code. We take several smallish and medium-sized examples. We have the design for MC and PDE models, for example. Exercise 5...
