Description
This pocket-sized introduction to computational thinking and problem-solving explores its roots centuries before the digital computer. Computational thinking has become an integral part of various fields, including physics, biology, sociology, and education.
The authors explain that computational thinking is not just about programming concepts, but a way of thinking that involves designing computations to solve problems and interpreting the world as complex information processes. This book delves into different dimensions of today's highly developed computational thinking, debunking inflated claims while highlighting its power in all its complexity.
