I am rather partial to books by Dyck, Lawson, and Smith.
Thier first effort was "Introduction to Computing,
Structured Problem Solving Using WATFIV-S", and they
have followed it by others using Pascal and ???.
As a first book, I think it is fantastic.  They cover
a wide range of topics, including area, root finding,
statistics, linear equations, plotting, and so on,
and have an    *excellent*   programming style.
