Editorial Review Product Description University studies in computing require the ability to pass from a concrete problem to an abstract representation, reason with the abstract structure, and return with useful solutions to the specific situation. The tools for developing these skills are in part qualitative – concepts such as set, relation, function, and structures such as trees and well-founded orders. They are also in part quantitative – notably elementary combinatorics and finite probability. Recurring in all of these are instruments of proof, both purely logical ones (such as proof by contradiction) and mathematical (the various forms of induction). Features: • Explains the basic mathematical tools required by students as they set out in their studies of Computer or Information Science • Explores the interplay between qualitative thinking and calculation • Teaches the material as a language for thinking, as much as knowledge to be acquired • Uses an intuitive approach with a focus on examples for all general concepts • Provides numerous exercises, solutions and proofs to deepen and test the reader’s understanding • Includes highlight boxes that raise common queries and clear away confusions • Tandems with additional electronic resources including slides on author's website http://david.c.makinson.googlepages.com This easy-to-follow text allows readers to carry out their computing studies with a clear understanding of the basic finite mathematics and logic that they will need. Written explicitly for undergraduates, it requires only a minimal mathematical background and is ideal for self-study as well as classroom use. Customer Reviews (1)

textbook_critic The authors'focus on answering the most common questions asked by beginning students in C computer programming is great. They also spend quite a bit of effort showing the differences among subtle symbology. Note I think the people who invented C language did a huge injustice to all students of C by being very sloppy with their chosen set of symbols especially for "Pointers" -- which is often used in solving most intermediate and advanced programming problems. This book tries to get to the root of all the confusion and sloppiness of the orignal inventors and thus end up greatly helping beginning students. Once students overcome all the sloppy terms and symbols carelessly adopted by the original designers then they can begin to enjoy the C langauge and make it do some wonderful things.But the learning curve is typically long and tedious to slowly overcome all the nuances in the language. Sometimes I even feel that C language should be phased out completely and allow C++ to be the sole langauge for all beginning student computer programmers.But people are reluctant to change anything -- just like the '80's attempt trying to phase out English dimensional sytem with the Metric system. Again this text understands all the areas of sloppiness that lead often to confusion and then goes to work at clearly explaining them all. Normally it's a tough job to clear up others confusion but these 2 authors apparently were highly motivated and committed at trying to take a good stab at all inherent problems incommunication -- which, in my view, most technical people don't pay enough attention to. They seem to think that after they design some complex system it's someone elses problem to figure out what they designed. The original designers of C language certainly have caused a lot of unnecessary headaches for many beginning students trying to learn C; and this book focuses on being a Bridge to understanding this shadowy language which, in my view, again should be phased out altogether, or the designers should fix the confusing symbology and often unnecessary cryptic shorthand for almost everything in their C language.Note C was designed when computer memory was [more money] and limited, and the designers got very creative at working under this environment. But did they think about future students trying to learn this often confusing and thus, difficult langauge? The only suggestion for the book is that the publisher should have used larger font for titles and subtitles and theoretically should have aimed for new page for each subsection.I could never undestand publisher's use of the bottom of a page for major subsection.

Found a better way to search for jobs
Useful and informative. I was very interested in programming/consulting and this book helped direct my focus to achieve my goal. Although it doesn't tell you exaclty how to become a programmer/consultant, expecially right out of school, which is very hard, it helped me search for more knowledge and that's how I came upon "The Secret Path to Contract Programming Riches...,"which showed me exactly what to do to become a contract programmer as quickely as I can. If you are like me, "Great Jobs for Computer Science Majors" will be but one of many great books in your life that helps shape your destiny and career fulfillment.
Great Jobs for Computer Science Majors I got a great paying job at a large corporation and I have not evengraduated yet. That is how good this book is!!!!!!!!!

Editorial Review Product Description Until recently, all of the interactions between objects in virtual 3D worlds have been based on calculations performed using linear algebra. Linear algebra relies heavily on coordinates, however, which can make many geometric programming tasks very specific and complex-often a lot of effort is required to bring about even modest performance enhancements. Although linear algebra is an efficient way to specify low-level computations, it is not a suitable high-level language for geometric programming. Customer Reviews (4)

Save Your Money
looking for CS GRE books? this might help Well, I searched for CS GRE books everywhere, couldn't find any; but finally found few books which might be of help if you are giving CS GRE. You mainly need books for Introductory programming (Pascal and C) some operating system and compiler So get 5 solid books for these and you will be all set. And here are good books I found for preparing these topics. Finally :-( ( I have only a week left to prepare when I found these books) Schaum's outline in digital logic these two (above) are excellent and are good All of these books have required theory in them, followed by problems and solutions. Very well explained, easy to follow and just the right amount of info needed for CS GRE. Hope this helps. Good Luck ~ sameer
Other sources for help The first book I would like to recommend is Fundamentals of Data Structures, by Ellis Horowitz and Sartaj Sahni. It helped me to review subjects like binary trees, hashing, sorting, searching, and graphs. The second recommendation is Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools, by Aho, A., R. Sethi, and D. Ullman. There are many questions related to context-free grammars in the exam, and this book helped me to solve many of sample questions in the GRE:Practicing to Take the Computer Science Test book. There are some questions related to digital logic and binary arithmetics. One book very well written that could help on practicing binary operations is An Introduction to Computer Logic, by H. T. Nagle. In addition, the test generally features some questions with a small algorithm or piece of program, written in C, Pascal or structured english. A very good book, which has helped me not only to practice for this questions, is The C Programming Language, by B. Kernighan and D. Ritchie. Moreover, there are some questions related to computer architecture. A good source in this field is Computer Organization and Architecture, by W. Stallings. Finally, a good book that covers almost all the subjects is Computer Science, an Overview, by J. Gleen Brookshear. It is a nice material for a final review, and also comes with questions/answers of binary arithmetics. I hope this essay be helpful for you as a guide to find material to complement the practicing tests.
Useful, but only just Thisbook will be useful as a last minute review for the test. One can try to dothe sample test and measure oneself before the actual test. However, thedetails of the test and steps to prepare, etc are exactly the same as thoseon the Bulletin, which is availible for free download at gre.org oravailible when you apply for the test. A more detailed specification ofthe syllabus and some more sample question will be worthy additions. ... Read more |

Robust statistics book with a funny title
Good For My Career I'vefound that I dive right into any chapter and get what I need. There arenumerous examples from image processing which show the effects of thevarious non-linear digital filters visually. Although the book is biasedto filtering problem in image processing, I've used the sections onM-estimators, L-estimators, R-estimators, median filters, and the variantsof order statistic filters in many problems not related to images. Oneparticularly good example, solved an echo problem with determining range toa mobile phone in a multipath environment. The reflections off buildings asthe phone traveled is a highly non-linear problem. My colleages workedfurously for weeks trying to optimize an IIR filter with many"special" cases. I proposed an order statistic filter that wasproven to solve the problem in one day. This book is my secret weapon. Isthis book better than newer ones on digital filters? In some chapters itis. However, I find this book as good as anyI've seen. If this is yourfirst purchase of a book on nonlinear digital filters, you can't go wrong. ... Read more |

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. |

Just what you expect from a handbook On the other hand, this is a huge field, and no handbook can put all of this in one book.I found that many topics that I was looking in were not in good detail at all.For instance I was looking in Fortune's voronoi construction, the terse way of explaining things does not give the reader enough insight.
A book well worth putting on your shelf. |

Editorial Review Product Description Discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science are closely linked research areas with strong impacts on applications and various other scientific disciplines. Both fields deeply cross fertilize each other. One of the persons who particularly contributed to building bridges between these and many other areas is László Lovász, a scholar whose outstanding scientific work has defined and shaped many research directions in the last 40 years. A number of friends and colleagues, all top authorities in their fields of expertise and all invited plenary speakers at one of two conferences in August 2008 in Hungary, both celebrating Lovász’s 60th birthday, have contributed their latest research papers to this volume. This collection of articles offers an excellent view on the state of combinatorics and related topics and will be of interest for experienced specialists as well as young researchers. |
