Description
This book explores the principles of generic programming and the mathematical concept of abstraction, helping you write simpler and more powerful code. With clear explanations of abstract algebra and number theory, you'll learn how to think logically and generalize algorithms to widen their usefulness.
Step by step, the authors demonstrate how mathematical solutions translate to generic programming, using a real-world public-key cryptosystem to illustrate the crucial role of these principles in modern applications. By mastering the thought processes necessary for effective programming, you'll gain a deeper insight into the value of mathematics to programming.
