In most of the sciences, introductory college courses focus on concepts rather than their practical application, with the latter reserved for more advanced study. An exception to this has been the fields of information systems and computer science, in which instruction has tended to focus directly on the tools of the trade, such as the technical aspects of word processing, spreadsheets, and databases. The philosophy of The Computer Continuum, however, is to concentrate on the concepts of information systems and computer science, such as data representation, operating systems, programming languages, and algorithms. While each chapter includes sections on software applications, and laboratory manuals are available to go with the text, the "concepts approach" of The Computer Continuum gives it a value that will last well beyond the current generation of computer tools. It builds a lasting foundation of fundamental concepts to prepare graduates for the future.
