商品描述

Discovering Computer Science: Interdisciplinary Problems, Principles, and Python Programming introduces computational problem solving as a vehicle of discovery in a wide variety of disciplines. With a principles-oriented introduction to computational thinking, the text provides a broader and deeper introduction to computer science than typical introductory programming books.

Organized around interdisciplinary problem domains, rather than programming language features, each chapter guides students through increasingly sophisticated algorithmic and programming techniques. The author uses a spiral approach to introduce Python language features in increasingly complex contexts as the book progresses.

The text places programming in the context of fundamental computer science principles, such as abstraction, efficiency, and algorithmic techniques, and offers overviews of fundamental topics that are traditionally put off until later courses.

The book includes thirty well-developed independent projects that encourage students to explore questions across disciplinary boundaries. Each is motivated by a problem that students can investigate by developing algorithms and implementing them as Python programs.

The book's accompanying website ― http://discoverCS.denison.edu ― includes sample code and data files, pointers for further exploration, errata, and links to Python language references.

Containing over 600 homework exercises and over 300 integrated reflection questions, this textbook is appropriate for a first computer science course for computer science majors, an introductory scientific computing course or, at a slower pace, any introductory computer science course.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《發現計算機科學:跨學科問題、原則和Python編程》介紹了計算問題解決作為在各種學科中發現的工具。通過面向原則的計算思維介紹,本書提供了比典型的入門編程書更廣泛和更深入的計算機科學介紹。

本書以跨學科問題領域為組織結構,而不是以編程語言特性為基礎,每一章引導學生逐步掌握更複雜的算法和編程技巧。作者使用螺旋式方法,在書籍進展的過程中以越來越複雜的上下文介紹Python語言特性。

本書將編程置於基本的計算機科學原則的背景下,如抽象、效率和算法技巧,並提供了傳統上推遲到後期課程的基本主題概述。

本書包含30個精心設計的獨立項目,鼓勵學生跨學科界限探索問題。每個項目都以學生可以通過開發算法並將其實現為Python程序來調查的問題為基礎。

本書的附帶網站 - http://discoverCS.denison.edu - 包括示例代碼和數據文件、進一步探索的指引、勘誤表以及Python語言參考的鏈接。

本教科書包含600多個家庭作業練習和300多個整合反思問題,適用於計算機科學專業的第一門課程,入門科學計算課程,或者以較慢的速度進行的任何入門計算機科學課程。
