Condition
GOOD: The textbook was used in a public school and shows the usual signs of student handling: worn corners and indentation marks on the covers. A name was blackened out on the bookplate on the inside front cover, but the remainder of the pages appear to be clean.

Technology
This textbook introduces students to the LOGO programming language. You may download a free copy of this language from the developer's website:
Logo Foundation: The Logo Programming Language.
Introduction: "LOGO is a very powerful computer programming language. You can use LOGO to examine and manipulate words, numbers, and lists. Its best-known feature is its turtle graphics. This feature allows us to create drawings with simple commands."
In addition to its introduction to LOGO, the textbook also has exercises for using a graphing calculator, programming in BASIC (you can find various versions of this language for free online, visit
Free BASIC Compilers and Interpreters), and spreadsheets.
