Introduction This book is written for students majoring in computer science and communication. It is divided into 20 units in total. The content is arranged from basic to professional, from hardware to software, and from fundamental knowledge to new technologies and knowledge. The book primarily draws material from over 30 new materials published after the 1990s abroad. The content is extensive, and the language is rich in phenomena. It covers basic logic components, digital computers, CISC and RISC central processing units, the hierarchy of memory, input and output interfaces, operating systems, programming, databases, parallel processing, data integrity and security, the structure and protocols of computer networks, multimedia, artificial intelligence, image processing, broadband communication, ISDN and B-ISDN, ATM, satellite communication, optical fiber communication, mobile communication, and SDH, among other topics. The selected content includes both fundamental theories and efforts to track the hotspots and new technologies of the past two to three years that have captured public interest. The textbook content covers the commonly used technical vocabulary, phrases, and typical scientific and technical grammar for both computer science and communication.
In addition to the main text, the book also lists numerous keywords, annotations, exercises, and some reference translations for the selected topics. For more challenging grammatical phenomena, the book provides corresponding reference translations and analyzes the grammar in detail. At the end of the book, there is an appendix with exercise solutions and a quick-reference glossary of new words for readers to consult rapidly.
This book can serve as an English textbook for students in computer science and communication, a professional English textbook or reference book for other engineering majors, and a self-study textbook or reference book for technical personnel working in computer science, communication, information, and related fields.
