เนื้อหาย่อ : Problem Solving and Struct tured Programming with Pascal is designed for a first course in problem I solving and comp ming in which Pascal is the program- ming language. No previous knowledge of programming is presumed. The mathematics background required is that equivalent to three years of high school mathematics or a course in college algebra and trigonometry. Our aim in writing this book is to help teach students the skills and concepts needed to become good problem solvers capable of using the Pascal language well. Not until these skills are developed is the Pascal language presented. Subsequently, as more powerful aspects of the language are developed, so are good programming techniques- all based on the solid foundation of problem solving and algorithm development pre- sented in the first chapter. Algorithm and program development are presented from the top-down approach. Students learn how to produ luce precise staten tements of problems as well as analyze input and output requirements. They are taught techniques for developing problem solutions in modules and introduced early to the concept of subprograms in Pascal. As students learn the programming phase of problem solving, they are taught how to design and test each m nodule individu idually first, then put mod dules together in a single program that produces the required results. As a consequence of our approach, students should develop confidence in solving any problem presented to them and should be able to produce good, understandable solutions to such problems in which the computer is the major tool.
