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
