Pascal for Students (including Turbo Pascal)
By- Ray Kemp, Department of Computer Science, Massey University, New Zealand
- Brian Hahn, Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, University of Cape Town, South Africa
The third edition of this best-selling text has been revised to present a more problem oriented approach to learning Pascal, without substantially changing the original popular style of previous editions. With additional material on Turbo Pascal extensions to the standard Pascal, including binary files and graphics, it continues to provide an introduction which is as suitable for the programming novice as for those familiar with other computer languages.
Audience
First time learners of Pascal - undergraduates in mathematics, applied mathematics, physics, engineering and computing. Also of value to academics in other scientific disciplines who need to learn some basic programming.
