International Thomson Computer Press, 1997
This book was a revised edition of
C++ for Scientists and Engineers, Intertext/McGraw-Hill 1991. It
covered exactly the same material, but used templates thoroughly in
implementing the new version of the MSP mathematical software toolkit. In
addition, exception-handling was implemented for all routines. The book
contained a diskette with compiled MSP code and source code for
demonstration programs. QA76.73.C153S655 ISBN 1-85032-889-7 For the MSP source code ask me to email you the contents of the diskette. The Computer Press branch of International Thomson no longer exists. The book was republished by Springer as C++ Toolkit for Engineers and Scientists, Second edition.

For this book, MSP was implemented with Borland C++ Version 4.0. Since then, I have updated MSP, as described in the Second edition, using Borland C++ Version 5.0. The source code diskette for the new edition also includes an adaptation to the Microsoft Visual C++ Win32 Console Applications environment, for all MSP features except hardware exception handling.
