G. Michael Schneider

Offer a contemporary overview of computer science with Schneider/Gersting's best-selling INVITATION TO COMPUTER SCIENCE, 8E. This flexible, non-language-specific text uses an algorithm-centered approach to provide a foundation in computing. Learning objectives and a clear hierarchy help introduce algorithms, hardware, virtual machines, software development, applications of computing, and social issues. Updated exercises and practice problems challenge students to analyze, evaluate, and approach problems creatively. Special interest boxes and timely content highlight topics such as privacy, drones, cloud computing, and net neutrality. Optional online modules for C++, Java, Python, C#, and Ada integrate seamlessly for the flexibility to teach a specific programming language. Optional MindTap provides study tools and a digital Lab Manual and lab software with 20 laboratory projects. 

The new AP Edition includes an AP Correlation and AP Practice Exam. New ancillary support includes a new Fast Track to 5 AP test prep workbook with AP course overview, AP Diagnostic Exam, AP Course Review organized by the 5 Big Ideas with AP Topic questions, and two AP Practice Exams. Also includes a new AP Test Bank available through Cognero that will include 160 multiple choice questions organized by AP Topics and tagged by College Board Learning Objectives.

Everything you need for your course in one place! This collection of book-specific lecture and class tools is available online via www.cengage.com/login. Access and download PowerPoint® presentations, images, Instructor’s Manual, videos, and more.
