I have been trying to find and study all books which attempt to 
present C language programming, or C program examples, to scientists 
and engineers who are likely to have a background in FORTRAN. So far,
I have located only the following titles. Would the readers of these
newsgroups kindly recommend others, if any exist? I've already scanned
a few on-line card catalogs, but my list can't be exhaustive.

Press, et al. _Numerical Recipes in C: the Art of Scientific Computing_,
Cambridge University Press 1988.

Kempf, J., _Numerical Software Tools in C_, Prentice-Hall 1987.

Baker, L., _C Tools for Scientists and Engineers_, McGraw-Hill 1989.

Baker, L., _More C Tools for Scientists and Engineers_, McGraw-Hill 1990.

Books specific to particular engineering or scientific disciplines would
also be useful.
