520			_a"This book is concerned with talking to computers. It has been used by the author and some of his colleagues at other universities in recent years as a text for a one-semester first course in computing. One of the author's basic premises in teaching such a course, which he hopes is reflected in this book, is that it is time-past time, really-for the first course in computer science be taught at an intellectual level similar to that of first university courses in other disciplines. This creates some special problems in computer science. Not only will a first course be taken by undergraduates majoring in an increasingly wide spectrum of disciplines, but, for the foreseeable future, also by undergraduates at all levels from, say, freshmen in the sciences to seniors in the arts and humanities."
