Problem solving is a skill that can and should be taught--students must be exposed to the precision and detail required in actually implementing their algorithms in a real programming language. Because of its structured nature, Pascal provides an effective vehicle for combining algorithm design in the abstract with the syntax of the language to solve problems. This book teaches problem-solving heuristics, algorithm development using top-down design, and good programming style concurrently with the syntax and semantics of the Pascal language.
