This paper is an introduction to Arduino programming for students who learned C on "Scientific Programming" by L.M. Barone, E. Marinari, G. Organtini and F. Ricci–Tersenghi, edited by World Scientific (or its italian counterpart "Programmazione Scientifica" edited by Pearson).

"Scientific Programming" is an innovative textbook on computer programming thought for science students, who does not care about writing Hello World! on a screen, but are interested in using a computer as a tool to do science.

Chapter 0 of "Scientific Programming" is about how computing and programming is important for a scientist. Chapter 1 is about information representation (there is no need for a Chapter uno here, since information is represented exactly in the same way on Arduino boards).
