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.
