Our library has volume 1 of a two-volume _Introduction to Programming_ set.
I've always wondered what was in the other volume. (It covers details of
the languages supported on the PDP-8.) But I've never seen the two-volume
set anywhere else, just a one-volume book.
The number of volumes appear to depend on the publishing date. My 1969
"Introduction to Programming" is a single volume, while 1970 and 1971 are
two volumes. I only have the second volume for 1970, and the table of
contents for both volumes are given on the inside cover of each volume. It
contains:
Chapter 11. Focal
Chapter 12. BASIC
Chapter 13. 4K Assemblers
Chapter 14. 8K Assemblers
Chapter 15. 8K Fortran
Chapter 16. Floating Point Package and Math Routines
