The field of computer sciences is vast, intricate, and constantly evolving, profoundly impacting nearly every aspect of our modern lives. As computer scientists, we must embrace a lifelong learning mindset to stay abreast of the ever-changing landscape.

Problem Solving with Python, a comprehensive textbook, takes an explicit problem-solving approach to the introduction of computer programming and computational thinking. It emphasizes the programmer's crucial role in defining problems, expressing solutions, evaluating and implementing them, and assessing the outcomes.

Designed to provide a solid foundation for further study in computer science, Problem Solving with Python encourages curiosity and guides exploration, experimentation, and the meaningful evaluation of results. It employs turtle graphics and engaging computation problems in the Python 3 programming language to introduce fundamental imperative programming constructs and patterns.

The book includes chapters on input-processing-output programs, conditional and iterative structures, functions, recursion, file processing, lists and strings, and introduces secure programming concepts. It presents programming constructs as tools for solving various classes of problems, using real-world problems as motivation for mastering these tools.

In addition, the book includes problem sections that are suitable for laboratory exercises, starting points for classroom discussions, or to help readers develop the habits of mind necessary for success as computer programmers.

By embracing a lifelong learning mindset and delving into the realm of Problem Solving with Python, we can unlock the full potential of computer science and make meaningful contributions to the digital world.
