"This book presents an introduction to computer science and programming using Pascal. Its aim is to give the reader a general introduction to problem solving with a computer, emphasizing top-down design, modularity, and reusability."--Preface

By tapping into studentsi enthusiasm about the Web, this update will excite students as well as give them a strong introduction to programming. This new coverage explains the workings of the Internet and teaches students how to harness its information. Elliot Koffman Elliot Koffman's Turbo Pascal is a classic, proven introduction to programming and problem solving. Now, this special update of the fifth edition incorporates the exciting world of the Internet into your Introductory Programming course. In addition to a new chapter on the Internet and the World Wide Web, all of the code previously found on an accompanying disk is now located on the book's website. By having students use the website throughout the course, the book will help students become more comfortable using the Web for classwork and for their own interests. The rest of the text contains the same careful and thorough coverage of the topics found in the first course in programming plus many second semester topics. Hallmark Features *Conveys the relationship between problem-solving skills and effective software development by using the authoris classic five-step problem solving process. and user interfaces in later chapters to help motivate students. *Introduces abstract data types and units in Chapter 9, and Turbo Pascal objects and object-oriented programming in Chapter 13. This coverage prepares students to study other languages which use the object-oriented paradigm. *Reinforces key concepts with proven pedagogical features like programming style sections, syntax displays, end-of-section and end-of-chapter exercises, and more. 0201350866B04062001

This introductory programming text for TURBO Pascal incorporates graphics and object-oriented programming and emphasizes communication skills. It covers procedures, functions, and parameters early in the text. Pedagogy includes Note of Interest boxes, communication and style tips, focus on program design, programming problems and projects, and communication in practice activities.

The Scientific Programmer's Toolkit: Turbo Pascal Edition presents a complete software environment for anyone writing programs in mathematical, engineering, or science areas. This toolkit package is designed for use with Turbo Pascal, the de facto standard Pascal system for PC and compatible machines. The book and its software provides an integrated software library of programming tools. The programs and routines fall into three categories: graphical, mathematical, and utilities. Routines are further subdivided into three levels that reflect the experience of the user. For graphics and text handling routines there is also a Level 0, which provides an interface to the machine operating system. By using hierarchically structured routines, the clearly written text, and a wide range of example programs, software users can construct a user-friendly interface with minimal effort. The levels structure makes it easy for newcomers to use the Toolkit, and with growing experience, users can achieve more elaborate effects. The Scientific Programmer's Toolkit will be useful to consultants, researchers, and students in any quantitative profession or science, in private or public sector research establishments, or in secondary and higher education.

Concentrating on Turbo PASCAL, this book is one of a series which aims to provide programmers with just enough information to get them started on each particular subject.

Presenting the concepts and techniques of Pascal precisely and accessibly, this work uses a five-step problem solving process to connect problem solving skills and effective software development. This edition features refined explanations of the key elements of Pascal programming, and an expanded section of exercises and programming projects.
