                       An errata list for this book will be maintained at the Web site and updated as
                  needed. Please e-mail any errors that you spot to me. Errata sheets for my other
                  books are at WilliamStallings.com.
                       I also maintain the Computer Science Student Resource Site, at WilliamStallings
                  .com/StudentSupport.html. The purpose of this site is to provide documents, informa-
                  tion, and links for computer science students and professionals. Links and docu-
                  ments are organized into six categories:
                     • Math: Includes a basic math refresher, a queuing analysis primer, a number
                       system primer, and links to numerous math sites.
                     • How-to: Advice and guidance for solving homework problems, writing techni-
                       cal reports, and preparing technical presentations.
                     • Research resources: Links to important collections of papers, technical re-
                       ports, and bibliographies.
                     • Miscellaneous: A variety of other useful documents and links.
                     • Computer science careers: Useful links and documents for those considering a
                       career in computer science.
                     • Humor and other diversions: You have to take your mind off your work once
                       in a while.

                  Other Web Sites
                  There are numerous Web sites that provide information related to the topics of this
                  book. In subsequent chapters, lists of specific  Web sites can be found in the
                  Recommended Reading and Web Sites section. Because the addresses for Web sites
                  tend to change frequently, the book does not provide URLs. For all of the Web sites
                  listed in the book, the appropriate link can be found at this book’s Web site. Other
                  links not mentioned in this book will be added to the Web site over time.
