Introduction to Computer Science Using Python: A Computational Problem-Solving Focus

Introduction to Computer Science Using Python: A Computational Problem-Solving Focus recommended by Guido van Rossum the creator of Python (This is not your average Python bookI think this book is a great text for anyone teaching CS1). With a focus on computational problem solving from Chapter 1 this text provides numerous hands-on exercises and examples each chapter ending with a significant-size program demonstrating the step-by-step process of program development testing and debugging. A final chapter includes the history of computing starting with Charles Babbage containing over 65 historical images. An end-of-book Python 3 Programmers Reference is also included for quick lookup of Python details. Extensive instructor materials are provided for those adopting for classroom use including an instructors manual over 1 000 well-developed slides covering all fundamental topics of each chapter source code and test bank.
