Algorithms & Computation Computational Thinking for the Modern Problem Solver

A Concise Introduction to Data Structures using Java

David D. Riley and Kenny A. Hunt

Mark J. Johnson

University of WisconsinLa Crosse, USA

Computational Thinking for the Modern Problem Solver begins by asking the question, “What do you know as computer scientists that is most valuable to the non-computer scientist?” Consistent with the spirit of Jeanette Wing's seminal CACM article that introduced the concept of computational thinking, this classroom-tested textbook presents concepts and techniques from computer science to a broader audience. It demonstrates the ways that computer science concepts are applicable in other fields using material that is accessible and relevant to non-computer science majors.

Features: • Introduces computational thinking as part of an introductory computing course • Includes both foundational computer science concepts and engineering topics • Focuses on algorithmic thinking and problem solving, rather than programming • Presents material in an accessible and relevant way for non-majors

Selected Contents:

Central College, Pella, Iowa, USA

Designed for a CS2 data structures course, this text provides a thorough, yet concise, overview of data structures as well as a gradual introduction to Java. It uses a concise style and includes pseudocode and exercises throughout so that students learn how to write code, rather than just read it. The book covers all of the main areas taught in CS2 courses, including arrays, lists, stacks, queues, recursion, maps, and trees.

• Introduces data structures in a concise and direct manner • Emphasizes one key idea at a time, allowing students to identify and focus on critical concepts • Uses an organization that is designed to help students learn, introducing simpler concepts first and then gradually building complexity • Includes partial implementation of most data structures, giving instructors flexibility to do examples and assign exercises • Presents an introductory chapter in Java basics that allows students unfamiliar with Java to quickly get up to speed • Offers source code for the examples on https://sites.google.com/a/central.edu/datastructures/ Solutions manual and figure slides are available upon qualified course adoption.

Tracy Fullerton

"Game Design Workshop is a truly great book and has become, in my opinion, the de facto standard text for beginner- to intermediatelevel game design education. This updated new edition is extremely relevant, useful, and inspiring to all kinds of game designers."

—Richard Lemarchand, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California

"This is the perfect time for a new edition. The updates refresh elements of the book that are important as examples, but don’t radically alter the thing about the book that is great: a playcentric approach to game design."

—Colleen Macklin, Associate Professor, Parsons The New School for Design

"Tracy Fullerton’s Game Design Workshop covers pretty much everything a working or wannabe game designer needs to know. She covers game theory, concepting, prototyping, testing, and tuning, with stops along the way to discuss what it means to a professional game designer and how to land a job.

When I started thinking about my game studies course at the University of Texas at Austin, this was one book I knew I had to use."

“Rendering has been a required reference for professional graphics practitioners for nearly a decade. This latest edition is as relevant as ever, covering topics from essential mathematical foundations to advanced techniques used by today’s cutting-edge games.“ —Gabe Newell, President, Valve, May 2008

“Rendering ... has been completely revised and revamped for its updated third edition, which focuses on modern techniques used to generate three-dimensional images in a fraction of the time old processes took. From practical rendering for games to math and details for better interactive applications, it's not to be missed.”

—The Bookwatch, November 2008

“You'll get brilliantly lucid explanations of concepts like vertex morphing and variance shadow mapping—as well as a new respect for the incredible craftsmanship that goes into today's PC games.”

—Logan Decker, PC Gamer Magazine, February 2009

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate synthetic threedimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of programmable shaders, a wide variety of new algorithms have arisen and evolved over the past few years. This edition discusses current, practical rendering methods used in games and other applications. It also presents a solid theoretical framework and relevant mathematics for the field of interactive computer graphics, all in an approachable style.
