Introduction to programming in Java : an interdisciplinary approach

By emphasizing the application of computer programming not only in success stories in the software industry but also in familiar scenarios in physical and biological science, engineering, and applied mathematics, Introduction to Programming in Java takes an interdisciplinary approach to teaching programming with the JavaTM programming language. Elements of Programming: Your First Program; Built-in Types of Data; Conditionals and Loops; Arrays; Input and Output. Functions and Modules: Static Methods; Libraries and Clients; Recursion. Object-Oriented Programming: Data Types; Creating Data Types; Designing Data Types. Algorithms and Data Structures: Performance; Sorting and Searching; Stacks and Queues; Symbol Tables. For all readers interested in introductory programming courses using the Java programming language. "Introduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach is a solid introduction to Java programming that emphasizes its application in familiar scenarios, such as physical and biological science, engineering, and commercial computing. These real-world explorations foster a foundation of computer science concepts and programming skills while illustrating the broad reach of computation." "This book is suitable for any student who has a general interest in science and engineering, including computer science students. Computer science majors will find that the book's scientific approach prepares them for advanced concepts later in the curriculum. Science and engineering majors will learn basic programming in a modern programming environment, which they can then apply to later courses in their chosen major. Most importantly, students will learn that computation is an integral part of the modern scientific world."--BOOK JACKET

By emphasizing the application of computer programming not only in success stories in the software industry but also in familiar scenarios in physical and biological science, engineering, and applied mathematics, Introduction to Programming in Java takes an interdisciplinary approach to teaching programming with the Java programming language. Interesting applications in these fields foster a foundation of computer science concepts and programming skills that students can use in later courses while demonstrating that computation is an integral part of the modern world. Ten years in development, this book thoroughly covers the field and is ideal for traditional introductory programming courses. It can also be used as a supplement or a main text for courses that integrate programming with mathematics, science, or engineering. Our textbook Introduction to Programming in Java is an interdisciplinary approach to the traditional CS1 curriculum. We teach all of the classic elements of programming, using an "objects-in-the-middle" approach that emphasizes data abstraction. A key feature of the book is the manner in which we motivate each programming concept by examining its impact on specific applications, taken from fields ranging from materials science to genomics to astrophysics to internet commerce. The book is organized around four stages of learning to program.-- Provided by Publisher
