The emphasis is on presenting a problem-solving approach and on providing a survey of all of the most important topics covered in computer science degree programs. Scheme is used throughout as the programming language, and the author stresses a functional programming approach that concentrates on the creation of simple functions that are composed to obtain the desired programming goal. The text guides the reader through basic programming ideas and concepts including data structures, theory, and object-oriented programming. Then the fields of database management systems, operating systems, compilers and interpreters, artificial intelligence, and soft computing are presented. Each of these fields is covered in depth giving a detailed introduction to the field, its problems, accomplishments, historical perspective, future trends, and a recommended reading list. Sample applications are shown in a detailed case study fashion to give a better understanding of the fields.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45277964009623,"sku":"9780387948959","price":6755.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780387948959.webp?v=1769289679","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/exploring-computer-science-with-scheme-9780387948959","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
