Biography
Larry Nyhoff is a professor emeritus at Calvin College, where he continues to teach part-time. He retired in 2003 after 41 years of teaching mathematics and computing. Upon retirement, Professor Nyhoff was awarded the College’s highest faculty honor, the Presidential Award for Exemplary Teaching. He earned a PhD from Michigan State University, has co-authored more than 25 textbooks on programming in Fortran, Turbo Pascal, Modula-2, Java, and C++, and has authored several textbooks on introductory data structures.
"The book is lavishly illustrated with examples and exercises, which would make it both an ideal course companion and a book for private study. The author’s abilities to explain briefly the history of computing and to write an engaging text are to be commended. If you buy only one text on programming in C++, then this should be the one for you."
—Carl M. O’Brien, International Statistical Review (2013), 81
