Hi Dieter, I can't really help you with any of the specifics, but here is the link for two free electronic books on C++, which might get you started.
http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html There are also books on Java, C#, Python etc. The first C++ book as a few chapters on c. I am not a hacker, but I seem to remember that file read/write is provided by <fstream> and <math> provides sqrt(x), sin(x). Hope this helps a bit. Sorry I can't be of more help!
