This study guide is designed specifically for the interim CompTIA A+ Core Hardware certification exam (220-231), which will be given from September 12th until the new test is out. Then it will be retired and replaced by a totally new exam devoted to 2003 objectives. The interim exam continues to score 2001 objectives and also provides you a chance to practice against upcoming 2003 objectives without having them count in your final score. Throughout the book, we use Future Owl icons with specially boxed text to alert you to these 2003 items. Successfully answering these non-scored items insures that you are fully aware of the most recent real-world topics. Part of the TotalRecall IT Certification System Series, this new book fills gaps existing in other study aid material and includes information found in no other book. In just reviewing the table of contents, you will see that TotalRecall Publications gave me complete freedom to build on what I have learned from running a Voc Tech school. For example, the chapter numbers are written in Base 2. This wasn't done to annoy you. The goal is to reinforce your learning binary math, since that is how much of computing works. I also include lots of real-world material so you can continue to use this book as a reference on the job. While I have kept the tone as light as possible, I incorporated a great deal of serious research to demystify some of the terms and technologies. So, if you are already networking and just want a quick refresher course along with practice questions, then this ExamInsight guide is the book for you. It includes a $20 discount towards download exam from the popular BeachFront Quizzer. I encourage questions from readersand want to support you in your work. To me, it is another form of networking, and I look forward to hearing from you. [email protected]

The unique collaborative effort of a professor of English and a professor of philosophy, Current Issues and Enduring Questions is an extensive resource for teaching argument, persuasive writing, and rigorous critical thinking. This extraordinarily versatile text and reader continues to address current student interests and trends in argument, research, and writing.Its comprehensive coverage of classic and contemporary approaches to argument includes Aristotelian, Toulmin, and a range of alternative views, including a new chapter on analyzing and writing about arguments in popular culture. Readings on contemporary controversies (including student loan debt, locavorism, and the boundaries of online privacy) and classical philosophical questions (such as How free is the will of the individual?) are sure to spark student interest and lively discussion and writing, and new e-Pages take advantage of what the Web can do by including videos, speeches, film trailers, and other multimodal arguments.

This decade has seen an explosive growth in computational speed and memory and a rapid enrichment in our understanding of artificial neural networks. These two factors provide systems engineers and statisticians with the ability to build models of physical, economic, and information-based time series and signals. This book provides a thorough and coherent introduction to the mathematical properties of feedforward neural networks and to the intensive methodology which has enabled their highly successful application to complex problems.

The protection of sensitive information against unauthorized access or fraudulent changes has been of prime concern throughout the centuries. Modern communication techniques, using computers connected through networks, make all data even more vulnerable for these threats. Also, new issues have come up that were not relevant before, e. g. how to add a (digital) signature to an electronic document in such a way that the signer can not deny later on that the document was signed by him/her. Cryptology addresses the above issues. It is at the foundation of all information security. The techniques employed to this end have become increasingly mathematical of nature. This book serves as an introduction to modern cryptographic methods. After a brief survey of classical cryptosystems, it concentrates on three main areas. First of all, stream ciphers and block ciphers are discussed. These systems have extremely fast implementations, but sender and receiver have to share a secret key. Public key cryptosystems (the second main area) make it possible to protect data without a prearranged key. Their security is based on intractable mathematical problems, like the factorization of large numbers. The remaining chapters cover a variety of topics, such as zero-knowledge proofs, secret sharing schemes and authentication codes. Two appendices explain all mathematical prerequisites in great detail. One is on elementary number theory (Euclid's Algorithm, the Chinese Remainder Theorem, quadratic residues, inversion formulas, and continued fractions). The other appendix gives a thorough introduction to finite fields and their algebraic structure.

Software engineers are increasingly becoming business people; Professional Issues in Software Engineering, 3rd Edition gives them comprehensive coverage of the issues they should know about. While most books look at programs related to software engineering rather than the context in which they are used, this book covers the major developments that have occured in recent years, such as the Internet, Data Protection Act, and changes to the legal status of software engineers. This updated edition of a successful textbook is for undergraduate and graduate students as well as for professionals in software engineering and computer science.

Semiotics, the science of signs, has long been recognised as an important discipline for understanding information and communications. Moreover it has found wide application in other areas of computer science, as it offers an effective insight into organisations and the computer systems that support them. An organisation may be viewed as a system of information and communication in which human actors, with the assistance of information technology, are able to process, represent, store and consume information. Computer systems that fit into an organisation and that support and enhance its performance and competitiveness, can be better delivered if semiotic principles are understood and applied. In this book, first published in 2000, semiotic methods are introduced and illustrated through three major case studies, which demonstrate how information systems can be developed to meet business requirements and support business objectives. It will appeal to academics, systems developers and analysts.
