An introductory, broad range, or "breadth first" text on computer science. The breadth-first approach, in contrast to the depth-first or programming approach, gives exposure to the essential elements of computing, including machine architecture, algorithms, data communications, complexity theory, database design, artificial intelligence, information retrieval, and software engineering. Programming is integrated throughout the topics as a tool for exploring these aspects of the field. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
