=== Programming for Scientists and Engineers ===

Learn high-level programming through exammples -- everything that might be useful
to a non-programmer, including object-oriented programming.  Start with the
simplest programs first.  Each program has a list of pre-requisites and a
presentation of syntax introduced with that program.  Other than that, the examples
can be studied in any order.
