{"product_id":"thinking-recursively-with-java-isbn-9780471701460","title":"Thinking Recursively with Java","description":"To provide students with a more effective treatment of this difficult topic, John Wiley and Sons, Inc. published \u003ci\u003eThinking Recursively\u003c\/i\u003e by Eric Roberts. Since its publication in 1986, \u003ci\u003eThinking Recursively\u003c\/i\u003e has become a classic in a field in which books quickly become obsolete. By focusing on effective problem-solving strategies that enable students to \"think recursively,\" this text has helped many students over the conceptual hurdle that recursion so often represents. Moreover, by including many more examples and exercises than typical, \u003ci\u003eThinking Recursively\u003c\/i\u003emakes it possible for students to master recursive techniques. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of its initial publication, John Wiley and Sons is publishing \u003ci\u003eThinking Recursively with Java\u003c\/i\u003e, making the book even more relevant to today's students. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCourse Hierarchy:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMay fit a variety of Java programming courses as a supplement at the introductory or intermediate levels or serve as a core text in intermediate or advanced level programming courses.\u003c\/p\u003e  Preface.  \u003cp\u003e1.

Recursion is not only one of the most important concepts in the computer science curriculum; it’s also one of the most challenging to understand.  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now in \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThinking Recursively with Java\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, author and award-winning teacher Eric Roberts, demystifies this often-frustrating topic by equipping you with effective problem-solving strategies that enable you to \"think recursively.” Based on Roberts’s now classic text, \u003ci\u003eThinking Recursively\u003c\/i\u003e (Wiley 1986), this 20th anniversary edition now uses Java, making recursion even more relevant to today’s students.   \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn how to apply recursive techniques, so you can succeed in advanced CS courses that depend on the use of recursive strategies.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe book’s ample selection of examples and exercises (more than the typical general text) enables you to work through as many problems as you need to master recursive techniques.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamples now use Java, making the book compatible with modern approaches to introductory computer science.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpanded chapters on recursive backtracking and graphical applications support interesting examples enabled by current technology.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe code in the book is fully compatible with the libraries produced by the ACM Java Task Force, as well as with other standard approaches to teaching Java. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eEric Roberts\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Computer Science and John and Cynthia Gunn University Fellow in Undergraduate Education at \u003cst1:place w:st=\"on\"\u003e\u003cst1:placename w:st=\"on\"\u003eStanford\u003c\/st1:placename\u003e \u003cst1:placetype w:st=\"on\"\u003eUniversity\u003c\/st1:placetype\u003e\u003c\/st1:place\u003e.
