Algorithms & data structures; Mathematical theory of computation

Series: Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science

Computation, itself a form of calculation, incorporates steps that include arithmetical and non-arithmetical (logical) steps following a specific set of rules (an algorithm). This uniquely accessible textbook introduces students using a very distinctive approach, quite rapidly leading them into essential topics with sufficient depth, yet in a highly intuitive manner. From core elements like sets, types, Venn diagrams and logic, to patterns of reasoning, calculus, recursion and expression trees, the book spans the breadth of key concepts and methods that will enable students to readily progress with their studies in Computer Science.

Reviews for Introduction to Computation: Haskell, Logic and Automata

“This book is intended as a textbook for an introductory course in computation for students beginning in informatics. No prerequisites are needed, all concepts, even elementary ones ... . it is also very suited for self-study, even if a reader is interested in Haskell or symbolic logic alone. ... Comprehension is supported by exercises for each chapter ... .” (Dieter Riebesehl, zbMATH 1497.68005, 2022)
