Sinopsis

A presentation of the central and basic concepts, techniques, and tools of computer science, with the emphasis on presenting a problem-solving approach and on providing a survey of all of the most important topics covered in degree programmes. Scheme is used throughout as the programming language and the author stresses a functional programming approach to create simple functions so as to obtain the desired programming goal. Such simple functions are easily tested individually, which greatly helps in producing programs that work correctly first time. Throughout, the author aids to writing programs, and makes liberal use of boxes with "Mistakes to Avoid." Programming examples include: * abstracting a problem; * creating pseudo code as an intermediate solution; * top-down and bottom-up design; * building procedural and data abstractions; * writing progams in modules which are easily testable. Numerous exercises help readers test their understanding of the material and develop ideas in greater depth, making this an ideal first course for all students coming to computer science for the first time.

De la contraportada

The aim of this textbook is to present the central and basic concepts, techniques, and tools of computer science. The emphasis is on presenting a problem-solving approach and on providing a survey of all of the most important topics covered in computer science degree programs. Scheme is used throughout as the programming language, and the author stresses a functional programming approach that concentrates on the creation of simple functions that are composed to obtain the desired programming goal. The text guides the reader through basic programming ideas and concepts including data structures, theory, and object-oriented programming. Then the fields of database management systems, operating systems, compilers and interpreters, artificial intelligence, and soft computing are presented. Each of these fields is covered in depth giving a detailed introduction to the field, its problems, accomplishments, historical perspective, future trends, and a recommended reading list. Sample applications are shown in a detailed case study fashion to give a better understanding of the fields.
