So You Want to Be a Computer Programmer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615872773)

This book is both practical and challenging! It has been carefully designed to present both university and high school students with a large set of programming problems and introduce the student to five different programming languages. The text includes over 300 problems, which have been collected over a period of thirty years by author Dr. James Miller for use in computer problem solving competitions - a professor of mathematics and computer science at Transylvania University in Lexington, Ky., Dr. Miller has supervised teams of students who competed in university and high school computer problem solving. Dr. Miller's forty-year experience in teaching mathematics and computer science is especially helpful to the reader - the purpose is to assist the reader in testing, reinforcing and building programming skills. This skilled mathematician has drawn from his experiences in teaching basic math, complex analysis and computer courses, to basic language courses and compiler construction courses to present the reader with a carefully crafted primer of five programming languages: BASIC and FORTRAN, Pascal, C and C++!
