Computational Thinking: A Perspective on Computer Science

This textbook is intended as a textbook for one-semester, introductory computer science courses aimed at undergraduate students from all disciplines. Self-contained and with no prerequisites, it focuses on elementary knowledge and thinking models. The content has been tested in university classrooms for over six years, and has been used in summer schools to train university and high-school teachers on teaching introductory computer science courses using computational thinking.

這本教科書旨在作為一學期的入門計算機科學課程的教材，適用於各個學科的本科生。本書獨立完整，無需先備知識，專注於基礎知識和思維模型。內容已在大學課堂上經過六年的測試，並在暑期學校中用於培訓大學和高中教師，教授使用計算思維教授入門計算機科學課程。
