Program Construction
* Unique approach tackles what most books don't-why maths and logic are fundamental tools for a programmer
* This comprehensive guide is a balanced combination of mathematical theory and the practice of programming
* Straightforward presentation of construction principles inlcuding:
assignment axiom, sequential composition, case analysis, use of invariants and bound functions
* Includes a wide range of entertaining and challenging examples and exercises
