INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS
AND
DATA PROCESSING Softcover book by Gary B. Shelly & Thomas J. Cashman Over 400 pages Copyright © 1980 by Anaheim Publishing Company " The age of the computer is here. With increasing frequency, it is recognized that an understanding of the computer, how it works, and how it influences the daily lives of every citizen is a necessary part of the general education for all students who live and work in this technological society.
It is the purpose of this textbook to provide an introduction to computers and data processing for general education, business, and computer science students so that they are able to understand how computers operate and how they are used in all aspects of business and science.
This textbook, through extensive use of color diagrams and photographs, is designed to teach not only the technical features of computers in an interesting and easy-to-understand fashion, but to also visually transport the student from the classroom into the world of data processing - into the computer center, the modern office, retail stores, banks, and manufacturing plants.
A result of almost two years of research, this book was produced with the cooperation of over 190 leading manufacturers and users of computer hardware and software. These companies very generously supplied technical material, slides, and photographs not only of their latest hardware but, more importantly, of the use of this hardware in actual operating environments.
