Sinopsis
This text is an invitation to learn about one of the youngest and most exciting of the scientific disciplines—computer science. Almost every day our newspapers, magazines, and televisions carry reports of advances in computing, such as high-speed supercomputers that perform one quadrillion (1015) mathematical operations per second; networks that transmit high-definition images and movies anywhere in the world in fractions of a second; and minute computers that can be embedded into our books, watches, clothing, and even our bodies. The next few years will see technological breakthroughs that, until a few years ago, existed only in the minds of dreamers and science fiction writers. These are exciting times in computing, and our goal in this text is to provide you with an understanding of computer science and an appreciation for the diverse areas of research and study within this important field.
While the average person can produce a reasonably accurate description of most scientific fields, even if he or she did not study the subject in school, many people do not have an intuitive understanding of the types of problems studied by computer science professionals. For example, you probably know that biology is the study of living organisms and that chemistry deals with the structure and composition of matter. However, you might not have the same understanding of the work that goes on in computer science. In fact, many people harbor one or more of the following common misconceptions about this field.
