Tpreface his book is designed for a two-semester sequence in computer science, beginning with what is typically known as Data Structures and continuing with advanced data structures and algorithm analysis. It is appropriate for the courses from both the two-course and three-course sequences in “B.1 Introductory Tracks,” as...

It has been over twenty years since we published the first edition of this book. Over that period, our original contention that numerical methods and computers would figure more prominently in the engineering curriculum—particularly in the early parts—has been dramatically borne out. Many universities now offer freshman,...

This book began when I was assigned to help salvage an undergraduate computer organization course. The course had suffered years of neglect: it had been taught by a series of professors, mostly visitors, who had little or no interest or background in digital hardware, and the curriculum had deteriorated to a potpourri of topics that...

Knowledge of problem solving and programming concepts is necessary for those who develop applications for users. Unfortunately, many students have greater difficulty with problem solving than they do with the syntax of computer languages. The art of programming is learning multiple techniques and applying those techniques to specific...

This text is intended for a one-semester introductory course in computer science. It presents a breadth-first overview of the discipline that assumes no prior background in computer science, programming, or mathematics. It is appropriate for use in a service course for students not majoring in computer science. It is also appropriate...

This book is an introduction to C++ and computer programming that focuses on the essentials—and on effective learning. The book is designed to serve a wide range of student interests and abilities and is suitable for a first course in programming for computer scientists, engineers, and students in other disciplines.

Learning AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT is a bit like trying to decide which came first — the chicken or the egg. On one hand, you need to know the basics before you can start drawing. On the other hand, understanding the basics can be very difficult if you haven't had the experience of drawing something. In this Quick Start chapter, you...

For many reasons, few books survive to reach their eighth edition. Authors and publishers who let the success of their earlier work produce the comfort of complacency usually pay the price of watching the marketplace dismantle their creations. This database systems book has been successful through seven editions because we–the...

Operating systems are an essential part of any computer system. Similarly, a course on operating systems is an essential part of any computer-science education. This field is undergoing rapid change, as computers are now prevalent in virtually every application, from games for children through the most sophisticated planning tools for...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) continue to evolve as new technologies are added to their capabilities. The PLC started out as a replacement for hardwired relay control systems. Gradually, various math and logic manipulation functions were added. Today PLCs are the controller of choice for the vast majority of automated...
