Pressure to produce good quality software within budget leaves little scope to explore the theory and potential of formal development methods. This introduction to the creation and development of software aims to demonstrate various advantages to be gained by using certain techniques. All techniques described are based on mathematical foundations, and a basic knowledge of algebra and programming is assumed. The book is designed as a self-study text, and contains many examples and exercises.
