Provides a study of the fundamental theoretical ideas of computing and examining how to design accurate and efficient algorithms.
This book tells a story. The story concerns the concepts, ideas, methods and results fundamental to computer science. It is not specifically about computer technology, nor is it about computer programming, though obviously it is heavily influenced by both.
The book is intended to fill a crucial gap in the literature related to the computer revolution. Scores of excellent books can be found on computers themselves, with details of their structure, workings and operation. There are also numerous books about the act of writing programs for computers in any of a growing number of languages. These books come at a wide range of levels, some aimed at people with no computer-related background at all, and some aimed at the most computer-literate professionals. In addition, there are many books on subjects peripheral to the technology, such as the social and legal aspects of the revolution, as well as books describing the relevance of computers to a variety of application areas. All this comes as no surprise. People are curious about computers, and want to learn how to put them to use. They are typically interested in specific kinds of computers, and often for specific purposes too. |
