✦ Synopsis


Computer Science deals with the study of algorithmic processes, computers, and computational systems. As a discipline, computer science spans a wide range of concepts from theoretical studies of algorithms, computation, and information to the practical issues of executing computational systems inside the software and hardware.

This volume synthesize and explains the most common computer science terms spanning a wide of range of Computer Science (CS) areas, including hardware, software, multimedia, computer applications, networking, and personal computing. This glossary volume defines complex terms in an easy-to-understand fashion, which makes the book valuable for non-technical and technical audience alike. Terms are defined in a jargon-free and concise manner. The technical terms are illustrated with specific examples whenever appropriate. After reading this book, you will be able to understand computer concepts without going in circles with definitions.

Programming language theory considers different kinds of approaches to computational processes. Computer programming, on the other hand, involves applying these processes to develop complex systems. Computer architecture defines construction of computer components as well as computer-operated equipment. Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to synthesize goal-orientated processes, such as problem-solving, environmental adaptation, decision-making, planning, and learning to predict new data or trends.

This book will introduce the readers to the field of Computer Science and the fundamentals of computer programming. It is precisely designed for readers or students with no prior programming experience, and touches upon a diversity of fundamental topics. By the end of the book, readers will understand the basics of computer science and the key concepts involved.
