SICP has been influential in computer science education, and several later books have been inspired by its style. Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics (SICM), another book that uses Scheme as an instructional element, by Gerald Jay Sussman and Jack Wisdom; Software Design for Flexibility, by Chris Hanson and Gerald Jay Sussman
The book also covers more recent developments, including topics like floating point math, operating systems, and ASCII. The book focuses on "pre-networked computers" and does not cover concepts like distributed computing because Petzold thought that it would not be as useful for "most people using the Internet", his intended audience.

Using a carefully selected progression of subsets of the Oz programming language, the book explains the most important programming concepts, techniques, and models . Translations of this book have been published in French (by Dunod Éditeur, 2007), Japanese (by Shoeisha, 2007) and Polish (by Helion, 2005).
The first volume of ‘The Art of Computer Programming’, ‘Fundamental Algorithms’, took five years to complete between 1963 and 1968 while working at both Caltech and Burroughs. Knuth's dedication in Volume 1 reads: This series of books is affectionately dedicated to the Type 650 computer once installed at Case Institute of Technology,
CS50 (Computer Science 50) [a] is an introductory course on computer science taught at Harvard University by David J. Malan. The on-campus version of the course is Harvard's largest class with 800 students, 102 staff, and up to 2,200 participants in their regular hackathons .
Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software; Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools; Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice; Computers and Intractability; Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming; Concrete Mathematics
Computer science (also called computing science) is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems. One well known subject classification system for computer science is the ACM Computing Classification System devised by the Association for Computing Machinery.
The theory of computation can be considered the creation of models of all kinds in the field of computer science. Therefore, mathematics and logic are used. In the last century, it separated from mathematics and became an independent academic discipline with its own conferences such as FOCS in 1960 and STOC in 1969, and its own awards such as the IMU Abacus Medal (established in 1981 as the ...
