The book features:
Short, modular chapters with brief and precise explanations, intended for one class period
Early introduction of basic procedural constructs such as functions, selection, and repetition, allowing them to be used throughout the course
Objects are introduced in the middle of the course, and class design comes toward the end
Examples, exercises, and projects from a wide range of application domains, including biology, physics, images, sound, mathematics, games, and textual analysis
No external libraries are required, simplifying the book’s use in common lab spaces
Each chapter introduces a main idea through a concrete example and a series of exercises. Designed to teach programming in a concise, yet comprehensive way, this book provides a timely introduction for students and anyone interested in learning Python.
Mark J. Johnson is professor of computer science and mathematics at Central College in Pella, Iowa, where he holds the Ruth and Marvin Denekas Endowed Chair in Science and Humanities. Mark is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Ph.D., mathematics) and St. Olaf College.
