Princeton University professors Robert Sedgwick and Kevin Wayne have created a comprehensive introduction to Computer Science in Java that's ideal for students and professionals alike. You'll start with the basics, master a modern course in object-oriented programming, and move on to higher-level concepts: algorithms and data structures, computational theory, and computer architecture. And most importantly, all the theory is discussed with practical and vivid examples: applied mathematics, physics, and biology , numerical methods, data visualization, sound synthesis, graphics processing, financial modeling and much more.
