Yes!

If you want a single book that covers the full Computer Science university syllabus, including
programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and core CS topics, here are some top
recommendations:

1. "Computer Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach" – Robert Sedgewick & Kevin Wayne

Covers programming (Java), algorithms, data structures, and core CS topics.

Ideal for structured learning.

Used in Princeton’s CS curriculum.

2. "Computer Science Distilled" – Wladston Ferreira Filho

A compact introduction to core CS topics (algorithms, data structures, programming concepts).

Great for an overview before diving deep into university-level CS.

3. "Introduction to the Theory of Computation" – Michael Sipser

Covers the mathematical foundation of CS, including automata, complexity, and algorithms.

4. "Algorithms" – Robert Sedgewick & Kevin Wayne

A deep dive into sorting, searching, graph algorithms, and more.

Perfect for mastering algorithmic thinking.

5. "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" – Harold Abelson & Gerald Jay Sussman

A legendary book that teaches CS concepts using Scheme (Lisp).

Focuses on deep problem-solving and abstraction.

For a complete university syllabus, you might need multiple books. But if you want a single
comprehensive book, I recommend Sedgewick & Wayne's "Computer Science: An
Interdisciplinary Approach" because it covers almost everything at an introductory level.
