<h1>Foreword-AoPS Edition<a class="headerlink" href="#foreword-aops-edition" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Welcome to the AoPS Edition of <em>How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python 3</em>!</p>
<p>This ebook is designed for use with the Art of Problem Solving&#8217;s <a class="reference external" href="http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/School/courseinfo.php?course_id=python1">Introduction to Programming with Python</a> and <a class="reference external" href="http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/School/courseinfo.php?course_id=python2">Intermediate Programming with Python</a> courses. We assume that students taking the Introduction course have no prior programming experience, and that students taking the Intermediate course have a basic knowledge of Python.</p>
<p>This ebook merges material from two sources:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The open-source textbook <em>How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python 3 (RLE)</em>, by Peter Wentworth, Jeffrey Elkner, Allen B. Downey, and Chris Meyers. This book is available at <a class="reference external" href="http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english3e/">http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english3e/</a></li>
<li>The <em>Runestone Interactive</em> tools, by the Runestone Interactive Project at Luther University. These tools are available at <a class="reference external" href="http://interactivepython.org">http://interactivepython.org</a></li>
</ul>
<p>We have, by and large, taken the text from the first source above and added the interactive tools from the second source. This means that the people listed above did 90% of the work for us, and for that we are very grateful. Our work consisted mostly of making some edits of the book&#8217;s content to make it more suitable for our AoPS audience, and changing a few features of the interactive tools to meet the content needs.</p>
<p>If you have any comments about this ebook, or if you have any errors to report, please send them to <a class="reference external" href="mailto:classes&#37;&#52;&#48;artofproblemsolving&#46;com">classes<span>&#64;</span>artofproblemsolving<span>&#46;</span>com</a>.</p>
