Computational Thinking: First Algorithms, Then Code
暫譯: 計算思維：先學算法，再寫程式碼

這本書提供了一個溫和的動機和計算思維的介紹，特別是針對演算法及其如何被編碼以解決來自金融、密碼學、網路搜尋和數據壓縮等領域的重要當前問題。

本書適合計算機科學、工程和應用數學的本科生、其他領域的大學生、對STEM科目感興趣的高中生，以及希望深入了解演算法解決方案及相關思維方式的專業人士。雖然作者假設讀者僅具備基本的數學知識，但他們堅持科學的嚴謹性，這對於將一般想法轉化為可執行的演算法是不可或缺的。支持網站包含書中演算法的範例和Python代碼。

Paolo Ferragina is professor of computer science at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies and at the University of Pisa, Italy. He holds a PhD in computer science at the University of Pisa and a postdoc at the Max-Planck Institute for Informatics. He served the University of Pisa as ViceRector for ICT (2019-22) and for Applied Research and Innovation (2010-16), and as the Director of the PhD program in Computer Science (2018-20). His research focuses on designing algorithms and data structures for compressing, mining, and retrieving information from big data. He is the co-recipient of the "2022 ACM Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award" and numerous other international awards. Ferragina has previously collaborated with AT&T, Bloomberg, Google, ST microelectronics, Tiscali, and Yahoo. His research has produced several patents and has featured in over 180 papers published in renowned and conferences and journals. He has spent research periods at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, the University of North Texas, the Courant Institute at New York University, the King's College, the MGH/Harvard Medical School, AT&T, Google, IBM Research, and Yahoo.

Fabrizio Luccio is an emeritus professor of computer science at the University of Pisa, Italy. He received his Dr. Ing. degree in electrical engineering from the Politecnico di Milano in 1962. After an industrial experience at Olivetti, he joined MIT as a research staff member, and taught logical network synthesis at the University of Southern California, and New York University. He has been at the University of Pisa since 1971, as a professor, department chair, and coordinator of the PhD program in Computer Science. He has been a visiting scientist at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center and at the NTT LSI Laboratories in Japan, and a visiting professor of UCLA, the University of Illinois, the National University of Singapore, the University of Hawaii, and the Carleton University in Ottawa. On Behalf of UNESCO, he directed a thirty-year project for the dissemination of informatics at university level in developing countries. His main research interests are algorithm design in sequential, parallel, and distributed environments, and the relationship between abstract computational models and realistic computers and circuits. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE and a Life Member of ACM.
