The entire MODULA-2 programming language is presented at a beginning level in this introduction to the discipline of computer science. The authors stress the art of problem-solving on the student's part and they reveal MODULA-2's ability to separate a concept from its implementation. This is one of the first books to present data abstraction in software engineering and top-down problem decomposition at an introductory level. Many program listings are included as well as examples and problems from many major areas of computer science.
