Paul Deitel | Harvey DeitelA subset of chapters from the "big book," Introduction to Python for Computer Science and Data Science, Brief Version, Global Edition, takes a unique, modular approach to teaching and learning introductory Python programming that is relevant for both computer science and data science audiences. The Deitels cover the most current topics and applications to prepare you for your subsequent courses and career. Interesting, real-world problems use real-world datasets, with a focus on software engineering and program clarity. Jupyter Notebooks supplements, downloadable Python source code, and hundreds of hands-on examples, exercises and projects provide opportunities for you to test and apply your skills as you learn.
