Today, anyone in a scientific or technical discipline needs
programming skills. Python is an ideal first programming language, and
Introduction to Programming in Python is the best guide to learning
it. Princeton University’s Robert Sedgewick, Kevin Wayne, and
Robert Dondero have crafted an accessible, interdisciplinary
introduction to programming in Python that emphasizes important and
engaging applications, not toy problems. The authors supply the tools
needed for students to learn that programming is a natural,
satisfying, and creative experience. This example-driven guide
focuses on Python’s most useful features and brings programming to
life for every student in the sciences, engineering, and computer
science. Coverage includes Basic elements of programming:
variables, assignment statements, built-in data types, conditionals,
loops, arrays, and I/O, including graphics and sound Functions,
modules, and libraries: organizing programs into components that can
be independently debugged, maintained, and reused Object-oriented
programming and data abstraction: objects, modularity, encapsulation,
and more Algorithms and data structures: sort/search algorithms,
stacks, queues, and symbol tables Examples from applied math, physics,
chemistry, biology, and computer science—all compatible with Python
2 and 3 Drawing on their extensive classroom experience, the authors
provide Q&As, exercises, and opportunities for creative practice
throughout. An extensive amount of supplementary information is
available at introcs.cs.princeton.edu/python. With source code, I/O
libraries, solutions to selected exercises, and much more, this
companion website empowers people to use their own computers to teach
and learn the material.
