  invitation to computer science: Discovering Computer Science Jessen Havill, 2020-10-12 Havill's problem-driven approach introduces algorithmic concepts in context and motivates students with a wide range of interests and backgrounds. -- Janet Davis, Associate Professor and Microsoft Chair of Computer Science, Whitman College This book looks really great and takes exactly the approach I think should be used for a CS 1 course. I think it really fills a need in the textbook landscape. -- Marie desJardins, Dean of the College of Organizational, Computational, and Information Sciences, Simmons University Discovering Computer Science is a refreshing departure from introductory programming texts, offering students a much more sincere introduction to the breadth and complexity of this ever-growing field. -- James Deverick, Senior Lecturer, The College of William and Mary This unique introduction to the science of computing guides students through broad and universal approaches to problem solving in a variety of contexts and their ultimate implementation as computer programs. -- Daniel Kaplan, DeWitt Wallace Professor, Macalester College Discovering Computer Science: Interdisciplinary Problems, Principles, and Python Programming is a problem-oriented introduction to computational problem solving and programming in Python, appropriate for a first course for computer science majors, a more targeted disciplinary computing course or, at a slower pace, any introductory computer science course for a general audience. Realizing that an organization around language features only resonates with a narrow audience, this textbook instead connects programming to students’ prior interests using a range of authentic problems from the natural and social sciences and the digital humanities. The presentation begins with an introduction to the problem-solving process, contextualizing programming as an essential component. Then, as the book progresses, each chapter guides students through solutions to increasingly complex problems, using a spiral approach to introduce Python language features. The text also places programming in the context of fundamental computer science principles, such as abstraction, efficiency, testing, and algorithmic techniques, offering glimpses of topics that are traditionally put off until later courses. This book contains 30 well-developed independent projects that encourage students to explore questions across disciplinary boundaries, over 750 homework exercises, and 300 integrated reflection questions engage students in problem solving and active reading. The accompanying website — https://www.discoveringcs.net — includes more advanced content, solutions to selected exercises, sample code and data files, and pointers for further exploration.

  invitation to computer science: Language, Culture, Computation: Computing - Theory and Technology Nachum Dershowitz, Ephraim Nissan, 2014-12-03 This Festschrift volume is published in Honor of Yaacov Choueka on the occasion of this 75th birthday. The present three-volumes liber amicorum, several years in gestation, honours this outstanding Israeli computer scientist and is dedicated to him and to his scientific endeavours. Yaacov's research has had a major impact not only within the walls of academia, but also in the daily life of lay users of such technology that originated from his research. An especially amazing aspect of the temporal span of his scholarly work is that half a century after his influential research from the early 1960s, a project in which he is currently involved is proving to be a sensation, as will become apparent from what follows. Yaacov Choueka began his research career in the theory of computer science, dealing with basic questions regarding the relation between mathematical logic and automata theory. From formal languages, Yaacov moved to natural languages. He was a founder of natural-language processing in Israel, developing numerous tools for Hebrew. He is best known for his primary role, together with Aviezri Fraenkel, in the development of the Responsa Project, one of the earliest fulltext retrieval systems in the world. More recently, he has headed the Friedberg Genizah Project, which is bringing the treasures of the Cairo Genizah into the Digital Age. This first part of the three-volume set covers a range of topics in computer science. The papers are grouped in topical sections on: the jubilaris: Yaacov and his oeuvre; theory of computation; science computing and tools for engineering; information retrieval.

  invitation to computer science: The Little Book of Managing Uncertainty Harry Katzan Jr., 2022-08-22 Advanced technology is the cornerstone of modern society. Some of the reasons for studying the methods and applications of technology are that the subject serves as the basis of our everyday existence. We use technology on a daily basis, yet we know very little about the underlying concepts. We have no introduction to the subject matter, no principles of best behavior, and no theories. It is a time for change and this book fills that need. In this book, we are going to take a look at the evolving technology of uncertainty. Getting a handle on uncertainty permits a practitioner to perform in an excellent manner on tasks from management to applied technology. Modern government, such as the intelligence services, is exceedingly complicated, and uncertainty exists in almost every aspect of their daily lives. Business and finance have similar requirements so that participants can excel in all aspects of the decisions of everyday business life. The ability to deal with uncertainty is based on the methods of combining diverse possibilities into a coherent whole called a frame of discernment. Then, using a methodology known as Dempster-Shafer theory, evidence can be evaluated and a basis for decision making can be discerned. The effective use of Dempster-Shafer theory is conceptualized through computer methodology. Once determined to be unsolvable by experts, the methods contained herein have been solved by the author as a visiting professor in Switzerland. The methods are summarized in a research monograph entitled Managing Uncertainty and simplified in this book, along with an appropriate appendix that introduces the methodology. The book is comprised of introductory material followed by appropriate examples in essays that can be read in any order determined by the reader’s interests. The essays are based on peer reviewed journal articles presented at technical conferences. The various essays can be addressed in any order as they are adjusted to fit the needs of practicing professionals. Harry Katzan is a professor, author, and consultant, and enjoys outdoor activities.
  invitation to computer science: The Little Book of Service Management Harry Katzan Jr., 2022-03-09 Service is the up and coming discipline for the 22nd century. But exactly what is service? Many people think that service is what people do – no more, no less. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Then, if so, why is the service community in constant disarray. Startup businesses fail on a regular basis. Why? They simply do not provide good service. Many persons in responsible positions rarely give service even a brief notice. What they subconsciously think about service has to be the truth. How often do you hear exclamations like, I’ll never fly again, especially on that airline? What about, I’ve had it with fast food restaurants. Have you ever heard a student say, I’ll never take another course from that professor? Or, it’s a great car but the service stinks. What about, He may be a great doctor, but he treats all patients like thy are not human. So, what do you do if you own or manage a small business and want to start off right? That’s an easy question. You simply send new employees, or even experienced ones, to service school. You’ve heard of computer school, but have you heard of service school. There are books on computer, for example, all over the place. But, you probably have never seen one – a book, that is – about service. Is an automobile dealership the same as a pharmacy? At the service level, you can bet they are. This book will tell you all you need to know about providing great service. Have you ever heard of a 2-hour seminar on how to give good service? I bet you haven’t. Sometimes, a manager will give suggestions, but that is about it. This book is a service resource. Have you experienced a doctor’s office that calls a patient concerning what time his or her appointment is? Have you had a car dealer tell you they have lost your car? Has a doctor operated on the wrong leg? Maybe, even the wrong person. A service is a client/provider interaction that creates and captures value for both participants. We use service in several aspects of our lives, including business, government, education, health care, and religion. But, what exactly are the best practices, principles, and theories of service? The actual study of service is a relatively new field, but it is one that can open the door to a better understanding of the essential part of our lives. In this little book, Harry Katzan, Jr., founder and editor of the Journal of Service Science, offers a concise, readable examination of how managers can use information about services to construct a better customer environment. Harry Katzan, Jr. believes that the characteristics of a service process determine its efficacy in solving real-world problems. He disseminates these characteristics and provides a clear view of service to help managers pinpoint the exact issues they need to tackle. With a comprehensive bibliography, examples, and a highly engaging writing style, this little book on service provides is perfect for the professional and laymen alike. Discover how you can put information about service to work for you.

A language computation is a computation that underlies the comprehension, production, or acquisition of human language. These computations lie at the very heart of human language. This volume aims to advance understanding of language computation, with a focus on computations related to the sounds and words of a language. The book investigates sensory-motor representation of speech sounds (phonetics), phonological stress, problems in language acquisition, and the relation between the sound and the meaning of words (morphology). The articles are directed toward researchers with an interest in human language and in computation. Although no article requires expertise in linguistics or computer science, some background in these areas is helpful, and the book provides relevant references.
