Welcome to IOU Digital Library

Fundamental Concepts in Computer Science is an edited academic volume that explores the core theoretical ideas that underpin computer science as a discipline. Rather than focusing on one narrow technical area, the book is centered on the basic principles, mathematical foundations, and conceptual frameworks that shape modern computing. Edited by Erol Gelenbe and Jean-Pierre Kahane, the volume brings together contributions from scholars working across mathematics, computing, and related scientific fields. The emphasis is on foundational ideas that help explain how computer science is structured as a field of knowledge — including concepts related to algorithms, computation, information, formal systems, and the mathematical basis of computer processes. Broadly, the book is likely aimed at readers who want to understand computer science at a deeper conceptual level, beyond programming alone. It connects computer science to logic, mathematics, and systems thinking, making it useful for advanced students, researchers, and academically oriented readers interested in the intellectual foundations of computing.
