Welcome to my website. If you're looking for the author of the text Computer Science: An Overview, you've found him. You've also found some information about the text. Please follow the links below that fit your needs. (Yes, there is an Instructor's Guide for the text. You'll find it at http://www.aw.com/brookshear which is Addison-Wesley's site for the text. You'll need a password from your Addison-Wesley representative to access the portion of this site reserved for instructors. There are also lab manuals, based on either C++ or Java, that teach the rudiments of the target language in a manner that is coordinated with the text. These manuals are also available via Addison-Wesley's Web site.)

My e-mail address is glennb@mscs.mu.edu. I look forward to hearing from you, but unfortunately time does not allow me to respond to all of your messages. In particular, I am unable to help students with their homework assignments related to my text.

Current Events

• The 10th edition of Computer Science: An Overview is now available. Among other changes, it has a new chapter on computer graphics. Be the first in your neighborhood to own a copy!
• I'm often contacted by users of Computer Science: An Overview who are looking for unique teaching aids/supplements for class use. If you have developmented materials that you would share with others, I would like to hear from you. Perhaps what you have developed is exactly what another is looking for.
