Peeking into Computer Science is an alternative computer
literacy book. Unlike existing introductory computer science books for
non-majors, the book emphasizes problem-solving using an algorithmic approach
and covers basic computer science topics in depth. Each chapter in the book is
a crash course on a core computer science topic, covering the subject in
reasonable detail. Yet, it is very accessible since it does not assume advanced
background on behalf of the reader. The book is self-contained: it includes the
mathematical basics required for the covered material. See the excerpts below
for more information.
