作者簡介
作者：(美國)布魯克希爾(J.Glenn Brookshear)
J.Glenn Brooksherar，是世界知名的計算機科學教育家。他在1975年獲得新墨西哥州立大學博士學位後，創立了Marquette大學的計算機科學學位項目，並在該校任教至今。他的主要研究方向是計算理論。除了本書之外，他還著有Theory of Computation：Forma/Languages，Automata，and Complexity。
內容簡介
《計算機科學概論(第10版)(英文版)》是計算機科學導論課程的一本經典教材，全書對計算機科學做了精彩的百科全書式的全面闡述，全景式地展現了計算機科學的發展歷程、現狀及其新的技術發展趨勢。《計算機科學概論(第10版)(英文版)》首先介紹的是信息編碼及計算機體系結構的基本原理（第1章和第2章）；進而是作業系統（第3章）和計算機網路（第4章）的內容，接著探討了算法、程式設計語言及軟體開發（第5章～第7章），然後探索了數據結構和資料庫（第8章和第9章）方面的問題，第10章通過圖形講述計算機技術的主要套用，第11章涉及人工智慧，第12章闡述了計算機抽象理論。
《計算機科學概論(第10版)(英文版)》在內容編排上遵循由具體到抽象推進這樣一種很利於教學的順序，每一個主題自然而然地引導出下一個主題。此外，書中還有大量的圖、表和實例，增強了讀者對知識的了解與把握。
《計算機科學概論(第10版)(英文版)》既適合作為高等院校計算機以及相關專業本科生教材，也可以供有意在計算機方面發展的非計算機專業讀者作為入門參考。
