Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - reference for algorythm and data structure understanding
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs has had a dramatic impact on computer science curricula over the past decade. There are new implementations of most of the major programming systems in the book, including the interpreters and compilers, and the authors have incorporated many small changes that reflect their experience teaching the course at MIT since the first edition was published. A new theme has been introduced that emphasizes the central role played by different approaches to dealing with time in computational models: objects with state, concurrent programming, functional programming and lazy evaluation, and nondeterministic programming.

: A language's structures are some of its most important characteristics. These include the data structures -- those mechanisms that the language provides for organizing elementary data values. They also include the control structures, which organize the control flow. Less obviously, they include the same structures, which partition and organize the name space. Languages can be compared relative to their structures in the data, control, and name domains. This report describes a syntax-independent method of representing the structures of a language which facilitates visual complexity comparisons and is amenable to measurement. The data, control, and name structures of a number of languages are analyzed, including Pascal, LISP, Algol-60, Algol-68, the lambda calculus, FORTRAN, and Basic. (Author)

GUPRO - Generic Understanding of Programs An Overview2002 •
Computers are tools for manipulating and analyzing information. Computer programs are the means for specifying what actions a computer performs. This chapter will look at a simple computer program. Some specific elements covered are: ✓ High-level computer languages ✓ Compiled vs. interpreted languages ✓ A simple C++ program ✓ Specifying variables ✓ Assignment and mathematical operations Programming Languages Computers are among the most complex artifacts made by humans and are comprised of billions of distinct elements. Direct control of such complexity is beyond our abilities. Instead, computer programming relies upon the principal of abstraction to allow us to specify what actions a computer should perform. Abstraction Abstraction is the pruning away of complexity resulting in a simplified mental model of a process. For example, the driver of a car is not required to understand the mechanics of a car engine in order to drive. As long as there is a mental model that the gas pedal makes the car go faster, the brake slows the car, and the steering wheel makes the car turn, a driver can be reasonably effective. Note that this mental model is not really correct – pressing the gas provides torque to the wheels, which may or may not accelerate the car. This example highlights one danger of abstraction; in unusual situations, the simplified model may provide incorrect predictions. For this reason, computer programming practitioners should have some understanding of how computers operate as well as detailed knowledge of the programming language.

Cunningham Manual of Practical Anatomy Volume 1Cunningham's has been thoroughly revised for the modern-day anatomy student. The language has been simplified for easy understanding, making this textbook ideal for students at the undergraduate level. Each dissection reflects current medical school teaching and is now broken down into clear, step-by-step instructions. New learning features prepare students for the dissection lab, university examinations, and clinical practice. Completely updated full-color artwork brings the friendly explanations to life. Following a logical structure, each chapter explains in a clear and friendly manner the key knowledge expected of students. Improved diagrams with clear labelling and full colour illustrate key anatomical features, bringing the text to life. Learning objectives introduce each dissection, and clear step-by-step instructions make it easy to follow in the dissection lab. Throughout the book, new clinical application boxes and radiology images explain how anatomy relates to clinical medical practice. At the end of each part, multiple-choice questions allow students to quickly review their knowledge before checking the answers in the appendix. Student-friendly and richly illustrated, this new edition of Cunningham's brings expert anatomical teaching to the modern-day student of medicine, dentistry, and allied health sciences. Retaining the trustworthy authority of the previous editions, this sixteenth edition offers a contemporary account of this excellent practical anatomy book.
