A few decades into the digital era, scientists discovered that thinking in terms of computation made possible an entirely new way of organizing scientific investigation; eventually, every field had a computational branch: computational physics, computational biology, computational sociology. I would recommend “Foundations of Logic and Theory of Computation”, 2nd edition, 2012, Sernadas team. The authors identify six dimensions of today's highly developed CT—methods, machines, computing education, software engineering, computational science, and design—and cover each in a chapter. published 2013, avg rating 4.00 — 380 ratings — Welcome back.

But what is computational thinking? Refresh and try again. 175 ratings — The authors explain that computational thinking (CT) is not a set of concepts for programming; it is a way of thinking that is honed through practice: the mental skills for designing computations to do jobs for us, and for explaining and interpreting the world as a complex of information processes. 76 ratings — published, avg rating 4.27 — Error rating book.
