Foundations of computer science : from data manipulation to theory of computation / Behrouz A. Forouzan with Sophia Chung Fegan. Pacific Grove, CA : Brooks/Cole, c2003. xxiii, 384 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Includes index. Computer and data: Data representation; Number representation; Operations on bits -- Computer hardware: Computer organization; Computer networks -- Computer software: Operating systems; Algorithms; Programming languages; Software engineering -- Data organization: Data structures; Abstract data types; File structures; Databases -- Advanced topics: Data compression; Security; Theory of computation -- Appendixes: ASCII code; Unicode; Flowcharts; Pseudocode; Structure charts; Discrete cosine transform; Acronyms -- Glossary. In this introductory text, you'll get a taste of each of the many disciplines within computer science. Data representation of text, audio, images, and numbers; computer hardware and software, including operating systems and programming languages; data organization topics such as SQL database models - they're all [included]. Progressing from the bits and bytes level to the higher levels of abstraction, this birds-eye view provides the foundation to help you succeed as you continue your studies in programming and other areas in the computer field.-Back cover.
