A comprehensive tutorial on Windows programming with Turbo Pascal for Windows. The text assumes some familiarity with Pascal, but provides an in-depth introduction to object-oriented programming, and an overview of Windows application design.

This book, written entirely by hand, is an introduction to programming in Pascal.

Covering algorithms and data structure analysis using the PASCAL language, this text may be used to follow up an introductory course on PASCAL programming. It describes recent algorithms of note. Chapters on pattern matching, text compression and random numbers serve as case studies in which some of the algorithms seen earlier find application.

Blaise Pascal has always been appreciated as a literary giant and a religious guide, but has received only grudging recognition as a philosopher: philosophers have mistaken Pascal’s harsh criticism of their discipline as a rejection of it. But according to Graeme Hunter, Pascal’s critics have simply failed to grasp his lean, but powerful conception of philosophy. This accessibly written book provides the first introduction to Pascal’s philosophy as an organic whole. Hunter argues that Pascal’s aim is not merely to humble philosophy, but to save it from a kind of failure to which it is prone. He lays out Pascal’s development of a more promising and fruitful path for philosophical inquiry, one that responded to the scientific, religious, and political upheaval of his time. Finally, Hunter illuminates Pascal’s significance for contemporary readers, allowing him to emerge as the rare philosopher who is spiritual, literary, and rigorous all at once – both a brilliant controversialist and a thinker of substance.
