This book lays out the concepts necessary to understand how a computer works. For reasons of clarity, the authors have deliberately chosen examples that apply to machines from all eras, without having to water down the contents of the book. This choice helps to show how techniques, concepts and performances have evolved since the first computers.

The book is divided into five parts. The first four, which are of increasing difficulty, are the core of the book: “Elements of a Basic Architectu...

For courses in Python Programming

Now in its 3rd Edition, Practice of Computing Using Python continues to introduce both majors and non-majors taking CS1 courses to computational thinking using Python, with a strong emphasis on problem solving through computer science. The authors have chosen Python for its simplicity, powerful built-in data structures, advanced control constructs, and practicality. The text is built from the ground up for Python programming, rather than having been translate...

Mensen zijn denkende stukjes van de evoluerende kosmos. Onze samenleving lijkt

echter een noodtoestand te naderen qua klimaat, milieu en mondiale conflicten.

Bert Koene, natuurkundige en historisch onderzoeker, verkent onze voor-

geschiedenis en onderzoekt toekomstscenario’s.

Hij laat zien dat de fysieke wereld heel anders in elkaar zit dan wij intuïtief

denken, maar ook dat zij als het ware is gemáákt voor leven. Oorzaak van onze

huidige crises is volgens Koene het feit dat het gevoel n...
