Introduction to Pascal and Structured Design, provides a concise, accessible introduction to computer science. Using Pascal programming as a tool to shape students' understanding of the discipline, the text offers a strong focus on good programming habits and techniques. The smooth integration of programming essentials, software engineering principles and contemporary theory creates an effective blend for students' first courses in computer science. An emphasis on conceptual understanding, problem solving, and algorithmic design teaches the skills needed for effective program implementation. A wide array of in-text learning aids, including Problem-Solving Case Studies, ample exercises and problems, and nine useful appendices, completes the text. Click here for downloadable student files

Problem solving is a skill that can and should be taught--students must be exposed to the precision and detail required in actually implementing their algorithms in a real programming language. Because of its structured nature, Pascal provides an effective vehicle for combining algorithm design in the abstract with the syntax of the language to solve problems. This book teaches problem-solving heuristics, algorithm development using top-down design, and good programming style concurrently with the syntax and semantics of the Pascal language.

Thoroughly revised and updated Turbo Pascal retains the excellent pedagogy, outstanding clarity, and balanced presentation that marked earlier editions as leaders in computer science education. An emphasis on problem solving and algorithmic design teaches students to implement programs most effectively. A sensible organization introduces concepts where students need them most, and an extensive and varied selection of exercises and case studies support and strengthen concepts learned. In addition, all programming examples follow well-defined methodologies that reinforce proper problem-solving principles.
