Free Introduction to Computation and Programming Using Python
As a result of taking the video course from MIT, I bought the book. It augments the video course and fills the gaps.
By JW Burton
Let me post a disclaimer first. I bought the paperback from MIT-press' website since it was cheaper after the edX discount.
Now the real deal : The book is excellent. It is the perfect companion to MIT's course on edX. I attended the course on a whim, since I already have a masters degree in computer engineer, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The book takes a beginner from the basics to some of the most important aspects of computer science. There is a bit of graph theory, a bit of statistics, a bit of sorting, linear regression, data plotting using Pylab, and even the knapsack problem thrown in. I loved the book as well as the course, and will readily recommend both to people interested in computer science, irrespective of the level of their expertise (there is something for everyone).
I have read bad reviews about the Kindle edition of this book and so I will add that a DRM free e-book is also available for purchase from MIT-press' website. If you want the ability to open your e-book with any PDF reader, buy that instead of the Kindle version.
