Description
Developing mathematical systems to keep pace with new computing systems requires an appreciation of how mathematics works. This book provides the essential mathematical foundations for core topics in computer science, covering sets, algebraic structures and their applications to problem-solving.
The authors describe basic concepts required for computer programming, progressing from sets to various algebraic structures that enable precise description, specification and analysis of computing problems. The material is suitable for undergraduate students of computer science and mathematics, post-graduate 'conversion' course students, and computer professionals seeking an introduction to the underlying mathematics.
Computer Mathematics will be of interest to anyone needing a solid understanding of mathematical principles in computer science theory.
