Exploring the Science of Computing

Aimed at first course computer science students, this text is intended to complement the Experiments in Computing laboratory manuals by the same authors. The labs may be used in conjunction with any Pascal text, but this book is constructed around the laboratories in Experiments in Computing. It provides an overview of typical computer science concepts, including context and background for the lab experiments. It is considerably shorter than most standard texts, shifting the focus from a passive to an active computer science learning experience.
