In the third edition of this introductory programming/CS1 book, authors Frank Friedman and Elliot Koffman continue their strong focus on teaching beginners how to program and how to write C++ code. Problem Solving, Abstraction, and Design Using C++ focuses on problem solving by consistently using a five-step problem-solving process throughout the book. This text uses C++ to teach introductory principles of software engineering while tailoring these principles to the abilities of beginning computer science students.
Dr. Frank L. Friedman is Professor and Chairman of Computer and
Information Science at Temple University. He received M.S. degrees from
Johns Hopkins University and Purdue University and his Ph.D. in Computer
Science from Purdue University. Dr. Friedman is also the coauthor of
textbooks on programming in Fortran and Basic. His current research and
instructional interests are in software engineering, specifically object-oriented
paradigms for software design.
Elliot Koffman is a professor of computer and information science at Temple University. He is one of the country's foremost CS educators, a former chairman of the ACM Task Force for introductory programming methods courses, and author of a number of successful language texts in Modula-2, FORTRAN, in addition to his four editions of Pascal and Turbo Pascal.
