Exploring Computers 6

Goyal Brothers Prakashan

If you know basic high-school math, you can quickly learn and apply the core concepts of computer science with this concise, hands-on book. Led by a team of experts, you’ll quickly understand the difference between computer science and computer programming, and you’ll learn how algorithms help you solve computing problems. Each chapter builds on material introduced earlier in the book, so you can master one core building block before moving on to the next. You’ll explore fundamental topics such as loops, arrays, objects, and classes, using the easy-to-learn Ruby programming language. Then you’ll put everything together in the last chapter by programming a simple game of tic-tac-toe. Learn how to write algorithms to solve real-world problems Understand the basics of computer architecture Examine the basic tools of a programming language Explore sequential, conditional, and loop programming structures Understand how the array data structure organizes storage Use searching techniques and comparison-based sorting algorithms Learn about objects, including how to build your own Discover how objects can be created from other objects Manipulate files and use their data in your software

An introduction to computer science and programming, using the C++ language and object-oriented concepts to teach students to program by reading and using classes before writing them. Includes a CD-ROM that features C++ 6.0 compiler.

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.

The Computer Science Success series is based on Windows 10 and Office 2016. This series is specially designed for providing a vast theoretical and practical knowledge of computers to the students. It is the most comprehensive series in which activity and tool-based approach is incorporated. Each chapter in the book begins with an engaging introduction followed by an activity-based approach to learning, which is supported with an ample number of diagrams, pictures, and relevant screenshots. The exercises in each chapter have sufficient practical and activity-based questions. Lots of interesting software like Office 2016 (like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access), Adobe Photoshop CS6, Adobe Flash Professional CS6, QBASIC, Scratch, and HTML have been taught in these books. A lot about the Internet, some knowledge about Cloud Computing, C++ and Python are also covered. Core features of the Computer Science Success series (for Classes 6 to 8) are: • Learning Objectives: Describes the goals required to be achieved by the end of the chapter. • Chapter Contents: Concepts are explained to strengthen the knowledge base of the students. • Know More: Gives extra and useful information on the topic being covered. • Fact: Includes historical facts about the topic being covered. • Top Tips: Gives a shortcut method of the topic being covered. • Activity: Encourages the students to explore some real-life use of the topic being covered. • Summary: Gives a brief summary of the topics being taught in the chapter. • Exercises: Includes a variety of questions to evaluate the theoretical knowledge of the students. • Activity Zone: Includes the following activities: •!• Puzzle: Includes crosswords or mazes to focus on some important terms included in the chapter. •!• Lab Session: Gives instructions to the students to perform various tasks in the lab. •!• Group Discussion: Encourages the students to have discussions on various topics. •!• Project Work: Assigns various tasks to the students to apply the concepts already learned Goyal Brothers Prakashan
