Sets, Logic and Maths for Computing (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book equips the student with essential intellectual tools that are needed from the very beginning of university studies in computing. These consist of abilities and skills - to pass from a concrete problem to an abstract representation, reason with the abstract structure coherently and usefully, and return with booty to the specific situation. The book teaches the material as a language for thinking in, as much as knowledge to be gained. Only minimal background in mathematics is necessary. From this book the student can assimilate the basics and set out on the paths of computing with understanding and a platform for further study as needed.
