About the Book

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. Computer Science: An Overview uses broad coverage and clear exposition to present a complete picture of the dynamic computer science field. Accessible to students from all backgrounds, Glenn Brookshear uses a language-independent context to encourage the development of a practical, realistic understanding of the field. An overview of each of the important areas of Computer Science (e.g. Networking, OS, Computer Architecture, Algorithms) provides students with a general level of proficiency for future courses. The Eleventh Edition features two new contributing authors (David Smith — Indiana University of PA; Dennis Brylow — Marquette University), new, modern examples, and updated coverage based on current technology.
