This revied edition of a mathematically sound presentaion of the theoretical aspects of computing includes step-by-step, unhurried proofs, worked-out examples that demonstrate theoretical concepts, and numerous diagrams and line drawings which highlight the underlying concepts.
The objective of the second edition remains the same as that of the first, to provide a mathematically sound presentation of the theory of computer science at a level suitable for junior- and senior-level computer science majors. It is my hope that, like a fine wine, this book has improved with age. The improvement comes with the experience gained from eight years of use by students and faculty who generously shared their observations and suggestions with me. These comments helped to identify areas that would benefit from more comprehensive explanations and topics that would add depth and flexibility to the coverage. A brief description of some of the additions is given below. |
