Reviews

From the reviews: A lucid exposition of fundamental ideas, concepts and methods of computer science, their essence and their limits, delightfully represented, and easily understandable for a broad readership. Scientific writing at its best. (Peter Widmayer, ETH Zurich) This book originated from a series of lectures given by the author to describe what computer science is and what its principle Ideas are. Algorithms are the key concept of this book. ! The inclusion of problems makes the book more than a personal reflection. The style is lively and avoids unnecessary jargon. With a good teacher, it could be suitable as a textbook on the foundations of computer science in an undergraduate classroom. (Anthony J. Duben, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2010) This is a very readable book on theoretical computer science, written for nonspecialists. ! Practical applications are illustrated by examples from DNA computing and quantum mechanics. ! Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates and general readers. (M. Bona, Choice, Vol. 47 (5), January, 2010)
