Abstract

The expansion of computer technology in recent years has presented many new and different concepts which are of utmost importance to the computer scientist. The incorporation of these into a computer science curriculum has, in many cases, caused a proliferation of topics with the inherent confusion of the student. Furthermore, the traditional techniques used to introduce the student to computer science are rapidly becoming obsolete. A detailed study of the architecture of a particular machine and expertise in its instruction set are no longer adequate for appreciation of the diversity of current hardware and software techniques, much less a firm foundation.
