Review # 1 was written on 2010-06-03 00:00:00 Harchi Farid i hate the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series so very, very much :/. how do i keep getting tricked? ---- reading this on cigarette breaks at work ---- I had Professor Pande for CS6241 (Design of Optimizing Compilers), and hang out with him fairly regularly to discuss architecture-aware JITs, optimizing for NUMA, heterogeneous compilation and automated recognition of data structure idioms. He's a smart, smart guy. This finally came down to $25 used, so let's see how it goes.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-07-07 00:00:00 Tyson Ratliff I read this on the advice of Dr. Eiselt, Dean (at that time) of the College of Computing, after asking him via email "alright, I'm taking classes and whatnot, but I want the Stygian deep; I want to go down as far as I can; I want and need to read those books which have shaped the great computer scientists before me, the real thing." Having probed the shelves of computer science and mathematics since, I remain convinced he could have given no better advice to a precocious freshman. Used for several decades at MIT, this second edition is more than thorough enough for an introduction to computer science anywhere. Taught using the Scheme system (with its close bindings to the type-free λ-calculus), this canonical work covers register machines, logic programming, nondeterministic evaluation, the relations of recursion to iteration, and a wealth of carefully-woven-in jewels from number theory and discrete mathematics. Every programmer thinking himself the real deal owes it to himself to read through this grand work, epic in scope and breathtaking in sudden illuminations.
