What is Introduction: Definition and 789 Discussions
In an essay, article, or book, an introduction (also known as a prolegomenon) is a beginning section which states the purpose and goals of the following writing. This is generally followed by the body and conclusion.
The introduction typically describes the scope of the document and gives the brief explanation or summary of the document. It may also explain certain elements that are important to the essay if explanations are not part of the main text. The readers can have an idea about the following text before they actually start reading it.
ln technical writing, the introduction typically includes one or more standard subsections: abstract or summary, preface, acknowledgments, and foreword. Alternatively, the section labeled introduction itself may be a brief section found side-by-side with abstract, foreword, etc. (rather than containing them). In this case the set of sections that come before the body of the book are known as the front matter. When the book is divided into numbered chapters, by convention the introduction and any other front-matter sections are unnumbered and precede chapter 1.
Keeping the concept of the introduction the same, different documents have different styles to introduce the written text. For example, the introduction of a Functional Specification consists of information that the whole document is yet to explain. If a Userguide is written, the introduction is about the product. In a report, the introduction gives a summary about the report contents.

Hello! (Wave)
I wanted to ask you if you have the second edition of Introduction to algorithms by Cormen, at which the chapters 30-35 are included, because the prof suggested us to look at the following exercises:
30.1-1

34-1
34-3
35-1
but I can't find them.
Hello guys! This is my introduction to you all, i think.
I am just a student currently interested in physics and at the same time troubled by it, and google brought me here.
Hope we have some fun time together.

Hi, I am a guy from Norway who loves physics, specifically Quantum Physics, and I hope that one day I'll be physics teacher. I've spent some time here before, but didn't make an account before now. I hope I can help others who pursue science and hope others can help me as well.
Hi all,
I have an undergraduate degree in Physics, but I've since specialized in more environmental applications of Physics. I've taken a few quantum Physics courses as part of my degree, but, if I'm being honest, what I took from those courses was more of a mathematical view of the field, such...
I came here after noticing a thread I found amusing where someone named "vanesch" said in this post that theories like SED are unneccessary ontological "toy worlds" for people who need to have an explanation behind the formalism of QM, to make themselves feel better.
