Cengage's PYTHON PROGRAMMING FOR ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS, 1st Edition, is intended for introductory courses in programming and problem-solving. The text covers material taught in first year engineering programming and STEM courses, including five major aspects of computing: programming basics, object-oriented programming, data and information processing, the software development life cycle and contemporary applications of computing. Unlike many other introductory texts, this one does not restrict itself to problems involving numbers and text. Topics such as graphical user interfaces, event-driven programming, graphics, image manipulation and network communications will be presented in depth after learners have mastered the basics of programming.
