Fundamental Concepts in Computer Science (Hardcover)

This book presents fundamental contributions to computer science as written and recounted by those who made the contributions themselves. As such, it is a highly original approach to a living history of the field of computer science. The scope of the book is broad in that it covers all aspects of computer science, going from the theory of computation, the theory of programming, and the theory of computer system performance, all the way to computer hardware and to major numerical applications of computers.

這本書以那些親自做出重要貢獻的人所寫和敘述的方式，呈現了對計算機科學的基本貢獻。因此，這是一種對計算機科學領域的活生生歷史的高度原創的方法。這本書的範圍很廣，涵蓋了計算理論、編程理論、計算機系統性能理論，以及計算機硬件和計算機的主要數值應用等各個方面。
