Introduction (essay)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In an essay, article, or book, an introduction is a beginning section which states the purpose and goals of the following writing. This is generally followed by the body and conclusion, and may be preceded by an abstract.

The introduction describes the scope of the document. It gives the brief explanation or summary of the document. The readers can have an idea about the following text before they actually start reading it.

Keeping the concept of the introduction the same, different documents have different styles to introduce the written text. For example, when you introduce a Functional Specification, the introduction consists of information that the whole document is yet to explain. If a Userguide is written, the introduction is about the product. If you go for a report, the introduction will tell you a summary about the report contents.
