by Sofia De Jesus Dayrene MartinezUse the computational thinking philosophy to solve complex problems by designing appropriate algorithms to produce optimal results across various domainsKey FeaturesDevelop logical reasoning and problem-solving skills that will help you tackle complex problemsExplore core computer science concepts and important computational thinking elements using practical examplesFind out how to identify the best-suited algorithmic solution for your problemBook DescriptionComputational thinking helps you to develop logical processing and algorithmic thinking while solving real-world problems across a wide range of domains. It's an essential skill that you should possess to keep ahead of the curve in this modern era of information technology. Developers can apply their knowledge of computational thinking to solve problems in multiple areas, including economics, mathematics, and artificial intelligence.This book begins by helping you get to grips with decomposition, pattern recognition, pattern generalization and abstraction, and algorithm design, along with teaching you how to apply these elements practically while designing solutions for challenging problems. You'll then learn about various techniques involved in problem analysis, logical reasoning, algorithm design, clusters and classification, data analysis, and modeling, and understand how computational thinking elements can be used together with these aspects to design solutions. Toward the end, you will discover how to identify pitfalls in the solution design process and how to choose the right functionalities to create the best possible algorithmic solutions.By the end of this algorithm book, you will have gained the confidence to successfully apply computational thinking techniques to software development.What you will learnFind out how to use decomposition to solve problems through visual representationEmploy pattern generalization and abstraction to design solutionsBuild analytical skills required to assess algorithmic solutionsUse computational thinking with Python for statistical analysisUnderstand the input and output needs for designing algorithmic solutionsUse computational thinking to solve data processing problemsIdentify errors in logical processing to refine your solution designApply computational thinking in various domains, such as cryptography, economics, and machine learningWho this book is forThis book is for students, developers, and professionals looking to develop problem-solving skills and tactics involved in writing or debugging software programs and applications.

Applied Computer Science
by Shane TorbertThe second edition of this introductory text includes an expanded treatment of collisions, agent-based models, and insight into underlying system dynamics. Lab assignments are accessible and carefully sequenced for maximum impact. Students are able to write their own code in building solutions and Python is used to minimize any language barrier for beginners. Problems involving visualization are emphasized throughout with interactive graphics, image files, and plots of generated data. This text aims to establish a core learning experience around which any number of other learning objectives could be included. The text is presented in eight chapters where each chapter contains three problems and each problem develops five specific lab assignments, plus additional questions and discussion. This approach seeks to leverage the immediate feedback provided by the computer to help students as they work toward writing code creatively. All labs will scale to available hardware and free software could be used for the entire course, if desired. Lab assignments have been used since 2011 at the #1 ranked U. S. high school. It is an ideal textbook for high school courses that prepare students for advanced placement tests.
Applied Computer Science for GGOS Observatories: Communication, Coordination and Automation of Future Geodetic Infrastructures (Springer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment)
by Alexander NeidhardtThis book combines elementary theory from computer science with real challenges in global geodetic observation, based on examples from the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell, Germany. It starts with a step-by-step introduction for developing stable and safe scientific software. It continues with a network middleware for distributed systems using generative programming. A main focus of the book is the strategy and realization of autonomous production cells for space geodetic techniques. A satellite laser ranging system is shown as an example for this. These automated systems are combined for global interaction, and for coordinated multi-agent systems using secure tunnels on the example of radio telescopes.
