Computer science is the science of the future, and already
underlies every facet of business and technology, and much of our
everyday lives. In addition, it will play a crucial role in the
science the 21st century, which will be dominated by biology and
biochemistry, similar to the role of mathematics in the physical
sciences of the 20th century. In this award-winning best-seller,
the author and his co-author focus on the fundamentals of computer
science, which revolve around the notion of the "algorithm." They
discuss the design of algorithms, and their efficiency and
correctness, the inherent limitations of algorithms and
computation, quantum algorithms, concurrency, large systems and
artificial intelligence. Throughout, the authors, in their own
words, stress the 'fundamental and robust nature of the science in
a form that is virtually independent of the details of specific
computers, languages and formalisms'.
This version of the book is published to celebrate 25 years
since its first edition, and in honor of the Alan M. Turing
Centennial year. Turing was a true pioneer of computer science,
whose work forms the underlying basis of much of this book. "
