Principles of Computer Science is an invigorating and rapid adventure that covers core introductory theoretical computer science topics, including discrete mathematics, logic, programming languages, and programming language pragmatics. Readers dive deep into the syntax and semantics of constructing a small yet usable programming language (interpreter) containing paradigms from functional and non-functional programming. Additionally, users will gain an understanding of compilation by writing functions that translate code written in their high-level language down to low-level machine language. Moreover, Crotts provides a perspective on event-driven programming, memory management via garbage collection, and much more. Principles of Computer Science assumes no prior programming experience--all topics are taught from scratch, making this a highly approachable and inclusive textbook.

Key Features:

Geared towards students who are new to computer science or want to see what the field has to offer Written in an accessible, easy-to-use format that marries the mundane behind certain concepts with practicability not found in other texts on the topic Walks readers through a large and complex (but invigorating) project with several embedded sub-projects Complements the theory of computer science with real-world applications, including sections on discrete math, data structures, and algorithms Addresses key programming language and computer science constructs by design and implementation WAV offers instructional material for classroom use (lecture slides, exercise solutions, etc.)--available from the Web Added Value(TM) Download Resource Center at jrosspub.com
