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. ...

Great intro to Computer Science, not just to programming The second part introduces Computer Science and will show you what others have been doing with the techniques explained in the first part. It will give a panoramic view of modern CS: databases, operating systems, artificial intelligence, compilers, `soft-computing', etc... Only the chapter on compilers seems a bit confusing, everything else is clearly explained. You won't need a good background in maths to follow it.
excellent university teaching tool |

Awesome
An excellent and complete reference
An exceptional review of core CS material This is not a book from which to learn concepts for the first time. If you've never heard of (e.g.) "undecidability", don't get this book intending to learn about it. However, if you know enough to know what you don't know, this book will efficiently fill in the gaps. The book consists of over 100 chapters covering material across nearly major area of computer science. Each chapter is 20-30 pages long and is geared to someone who has seen the material before but is in need of a review and summary of core terminology and historical context. Someone experienced in one field who wants to be able to read current technical material in another field will also find it useful. Most of the authors are academics; the remainder are members of major research labs. Some of their chapters, like James Feldman's piece on Digital Logic, are truly extraordinary. Most others range from solid to exceptional. The material isn't just that of concern to traditional academic CS; I was pleasantly surprised to see an entire section (8 chapters worth) on practical software engineering topics (development process and lifecycle models, requirements and specification, design, validation, tools, testing, project management, etc). The material was authored around 1995 or 1996, and nearly all of it is still relevant and as up-to-date as is appropriate for this sort of collection. One minor weakness is there's no cross-chapter index or glossary. The book is organized as a collection of papers, and each paper includes its own index, bibliography, and glossary. To find material about the web, for instance, you have to hunt through the (excellent) 20-page table of contents for the relevant subsections scattered throughout. This weakness is far from fatal, however. Should the next edition add an index, it will only add value to an already exceptional collection, by making it easier to locate references to material that spans subfields. Again, highly recommended for targeted learning.
