Classroom tested on more than 40,000 students, COMPUTERS: INSIDE & OUT by Lauckner & Lintner, has helped students become leaders in their industries. Why? Because they know a computer is more than a glorified typewriter or calculator - it's a problem solving tool. The authors pattern this introduction to computers in the same manner as biology, economics, & chemistry courses are presented. It's an overview that captures the essence of the computing field using hands-on exercises provided in the instructor's manual. The book teaches the basic computer concepts of information & its storage, communications, stimulation, & other general applications of a computer. It also discusses programming, business applications, tools, the internet, societal impacts, multi-media, how-to purchase a computer or software & problem solving. It's filled with special interest boxes on industry trends & historical moments. Plus, all the key word definitions are repeated in the side margins to ensure students focus on them. The authors, Lauckner & Lintner, both teach at Eastern Michigan University & have more than 50 years experience in the computing field. Both hold Ph.Ds & work as consultants in addition to their academic responsibilities. To order: Pippin Publishing, Ltd., P.O. Box 3671, Ann Arbor, MI 48106-3671. Phone: (313) 747-7465.
