The book presents the mathematical view and tools of computer programming with broad and friendly context. It explains the basic concepts such as recursion, computation model, types, data, and etc. The book serves as an introductory and reference guide to the engineers, students, researchers, and professionals who are interested in functional programming, type system, and computer programming languages. The book covers seven topics. Firstly, it lays out the number system based on Peano Axioms and demonstrates the isomorphic computer data structures. Then, it introduces Lambda calculus as a computing model and recursion, an important programming structure, with the Y-combinator. It next presents the basic abstract algebra, including group and fields, and provides a friendly introduction to Galois theory. After that, it uses category theory as a tool to explain several concepts in computer programming, including the type system, polymorphism, null handler, and recursive data types, then followed by an application of program optimization. In the last two chapters, the author shows how to program with the concept of infinity through stream and lazy evaluation, and then explains the naïve set theory and transfinite numbers, from which the logic paradox arises. Finally, it introduces four historical views of mathematical foundation, as well as Gödel’s incompleteness theorems developed in 1930s, and how they define the boundaries of computer programming. Additionally, the book provides biographies, stories, and anecdotes of 25 mathematicians, along with over 130 exercises and their corresponding answers.

Take the next step in raising your coding skills and dive into the intricacies of Java Standard Libraries. You will continue to raise your coding skills, and test your Java knowledge on tricky programming tasks, with the help of the pirate Captain CiaoCiao. This is the second of two volumes which provide you with everything you need to excel in your Java journey, including tricks that you should know in detail as a professional, as well as intensive training for clean code and thoughtful design that carries even complex software. Many beginners in programming often ask themselves, “How can I strengthen my skills as a developer? How can I become a better programmer?” The answer is simple: study, attend webinars, learn, repeat, practice, and discuss your work with others. Many aspects of programming are similar to learning new skills. Just as a book can’t teach you how to play a musical instrument, watching the Fast and the Furious movie series won’t teach you how to drive. The brain develops patterns and structures through repeated practice. Learning a programming language and a natural language have many similarities. Consistent use of the language, and the desire and need to express and communicate in it (just as you need to do so to order a burger or a beer), leads to gradual improvement in skills. Books and webinars on learning a programming language are available, but reading, learning, practicing, and repeating are just one aspect of becoming a successful software developer. To create effective software solutions, you need to creatively combine your knowledge, just as a musician regularly practices finger exercises and maintains their repertoire. The more effective your exercises are, the faster you will become a master. This book aims to help you progress and gain more hands‑on experience.

Frama-C is a popular open-source toolset for analysis and verification of C programs, largely used for teaching, experimental research, and industrial applications. With the growing complexity and ubiquity of modern software, there is increasing interest in code analysis tools at various levels of formalization to ensure safety and security of software products. Acknowledging the fact that no single technique will ever be able to fit all software verification needs, the Frama-C platform features a wide set of plug-ins that can be used or combined for solving specific verification tasks. This guidebook presents a large panorama of basic usages, research results, and concrete applications of Frama-C since the very first open-source release of the platform in 2008. It covers the ACSL specification language, core verification plug-ins, advanced analyses and their combinations, key ingredients for developing new plug-ins, as well as successful industrial case studies in which Frama-C has helped engineers verify crucial safety or security properties. The C programming language continues to be used in foundational software such as device drivers, networking software, operating systems, and controllers, and such software is of growing importance as computers are used in more and more products and cyber-physical systems. C is an attractive programming language for such systems because it provides low-level access to machine capabilities, explicit storage allocation, and pointer arithmetic. However, these same features make it difficult to use C safely and reliably. Programming safely and reliably in language such as C benefits greatly from tool support, which can record a programmer’s decisions and check that they are carried out consistently and without running into any semantic problems.
