Summary:

With a broadened scope, more emphasis on applied computing and more than 70 chapters either new or significantly revised, the Computer Science Handbook, Second Edition is exactly the kind of reference today's computer scientists, software engineers, and IT professionals need. All of the material found in the first edition is now up to date and augmented by a wealth of additional coverage. The discussions now reflect the explosive growth of the Internet, the increasing importance of subjects like massively parallel computation, and the key issues at the intersection of the technology and the people it impacts. This rich collection of theory and practice fully characterizes the current state of the field and conveys the modern spirit, accomplishments, and direction of computer science.
