5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book for learning real computer science.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Foundations of Computer Science: C Edition (Principles of Computer Science Series) (Hardcover)
This book is not a "how to program" book. Rather it discusses the science and computing in detail. The basics are introduced and throughout the book the chapters build on each other for a complex yet easy to understand experience. The book is a wonderful tool for those who want to be real scientists and not just "techies."

Quite complete and clear,

This review is from: Foundations of Computer Science: C Edition (Principles of Computer Science Series) (Hardcover)
Aho is one of the most respected authors in Computer science and he makes it clear why in this book. With the aid of step-by-step algorithms, schematics, good examples and exercises he accomplishes one of the most complete and clear books in CS for beginner students. The text is sometimes too extensive but it is never confusing or inadequate.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Mix of Discrete Math And Programming,
By
This review is from: Foundations of Computer Science: C Edition (Principles of Computer Science Series) (Hardcover)
I'm not sure what the reviewers giving it 1-2 stars are complaining about? Maybe they just don't get it. I've been programming professionally for 8 years and I have yet to see a better book that ties Discrete Math with Computer Science. I think it gives a great example of how Induction and Recursive thinking are linked. I bought this book 3 years ago and I occasionally re-visit it to do all the exercises.... There's a lot but they are good. It's like going to the gym for a good workout but in the context of Computer Science.No, it's not introductory, but if you're having a hard time with Discrete Math and have a solid programming background, are willing to sit down and "Work out" the excercises, then this book is for you.
