In response to David J. Wilkinson
f(n) = n is a constant funciton In this context constant means that its execution time does not vary based on the imput. Compare this to a bubble short algorithm where the excecution time would vary accourding to the square of the number of items. So 10 item would take 100c time units to sort, 1000 items would take 1 million!
Lets be fair, it does what it is supposed to do. The only way to study for a CS GRE is to use this book to get an idea of the questions (plus the sample test ETS sends you). If you cannot answer the question then go to a textbook and read the corresponding chapters, so when you come back you can answer the question. Ideally, you are a CS Junior in Undergrad and know that you will be taking this test. This way study for this from the start, while still in class.
Can there really be no alternative? 1) The book assumes an expert-level knowledge of PASCAL and no knowledge of C.The sample test from ETS requred only basic C and PASCAL.Since I didn't know PASCAL at all (who does these days?) until I studied for the GRE, I really hope that the ETS test is closer to the real thing. 2)Questions that are far more difficult (both in terms of knowledge required and time required to answer) than anything in the ETS sample GRE.There are questions where the "explanation" is more than 2 pages long. 3)Errors.To take one example I just met, they think that f(n) = n is a constant function. 4)Ambiguity/unstated assumptions in question. To sum up, yes, this book [bites].Don't pay any money for it.And come on -- will someone out there write a decent GRE CS review book??
Worst Test Preparation Book EVER I bought this book in preparation for taking my GRE subject test, and was incredibly discouraged after taking some of the sample tests contained within.Most of the questions I was unable to answer, and the answers given in the book often left me scratching my head and wondering what the writers were talking about.I was about to actually cancel my appointment to take the test, when I decided to give the official sample test sent to me by ETS a try.On that test, I was able to score in the 91st percentile.I haven't taken my official test yet (it is tomorrow morning), but, assuming that the real test is not drastically different from the official sample (a real test from 1996), the questions in this book bear no resemblance to any of the questions on the real test. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Computer simulation was first pioneered as a scientific tool in meteorology and nuclear physics in the period following World War II, but it has grown rapidly to become indispensible in a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including astrophysics, high-energy physics, climate science, engineering, ecology, and economics. Digital computer simulation helps study phenomena of great complexity, but how much do we know about the limits and possibilities of this new scientific practice? How do simulations compare to traditional experiments? And are they reliable? Eric Winsberg seeks to answer these questions in Science in the Age of Computer Simulation. Scrutinizing these issue with a philosophical lens, Winsberg explores the impact of simulation on such issues as the nature of scientific evidence; the role of values in science; the nature and role of fictions in science; and the relationship between simulation and experiment, theories and data, and theories at different levels of description. Science in the Age of Computer Simulation will transform many of the core issues in philosophy of science, as well as our basic understanding of the role of the digital computer in the sciences. |

Desert Island Book
Good Mix of Discrete Math And Programming No, it's not introductory, but if you're having a hard time with Discrete Math and have a solid programming background, are willing to sit down and "Work out" the excercises, then this book is for you.
Excellent book, even for experienced readers For those new to computer science, I would not use this as a first book (this is made clear in the introduction, as well). The expectation is that the reader will already understand the basics of programming, so prior experience or an introductory course in computer science would be appropriate. Many of the examples make use of pointers, which can occasionally be confusing to students unfamiliar with programming, so it would definitely be a good idea for the reader to be familiar with a language like C or Pascal before starting this book. Once that foundation is in place, this is an excellent book to learn the basics of the field of computer science. For more experienced readers, this book serves as an amazing review and does a good job of collecting lots of information in one place. Explanations are solid, so the book can serve as a good reference for multiple topics. Note that the level of detail is not appropriate if you are just interested in one thing -- if you are interested only in details of algorithms, a book like the MIT Press Algorithms book would be more appropriate.
An always useful reference
No "Foundation" whatsoever |

especially good for A.I.
Why is this the the best textbook on prolog?
Great book for learning AI with Prolog, but.... This is not a good first book on Prolog. If you are new to Prolog and Logic Programming, you should read 'Art of Prolog' first. Prolog is quite different from other languages, and you'll need some time to get it. This book doesn't give you that time: after briefly introducing the basic concepts, Bratko dives at breakneck speed into recursion and list processing. Don't get me wrong, this is a magnificent book on how to do AI with Prolog, but it shouldn't be your first Prolog book. It's an excellent second book.
An excellent introduction to Prolog and concepts in AI I recommend this book to everyone who wants to learn Prolog. I would also recommend the readers to use a Prolog system to work out the examples and exercises as s/he goes through every chapter. A DEC10 Prolog system (like SICStus Prolog) would probably be the best companion for this book.
I thought the book could be better |
