Books by Behrouz A. Forouzan

This new text makes it simple for beginning computer science students to design algorithms first using pseudocode and then build them using the C++ programming language. Based on Gilberg and Forouzan's successful text, Data Structures: A Pseudocode Approach with C, this new book emphasizes a practical approach to data structures.

Forouzan's TCP/IP Protocol suite can be used in either a course on TCP/IP or as a additional text for a networking course. TCP/IP is the networking protocol that allows vast numbers of computers to communicate with each other. These are the protocols that govern, among other things, the internet.

Designed as one of the first true textbooks on how to use the UNIX operating system and suitable for a wide variety of UNIX-based courses, UNIX and Shell Programming goes beyond providing a reference of commands to offer a guide to basic commands and shell programming. Forouzan/Gilberg begin by introducing students to basic commands and tools of the powerful UNIX operating system. The authors then present simple scriptwriting concepts, and cover all material required for understanding shells (e.g., Regular Expressions, grep, sed, and awk) before introducing material on the Korn, C, and Bourne shells. Throughout, in-text learning aids encourage active learning and rich visuals support concept presentation. For example, sessions use color so students can easily distinguish user input from computer output. In addition, illustrative figures help student visualize what the command is doing. Each chapter concludes with problems, including lab sessions where students work on the computer and complete sessions step-by-step. This approach has proven to be successful when teaching this material in the classroom.
