Mathematical foundations
Hardback. Why are some problems easy to solve, while others seem nearly impossible? What can we compute with a given amount of time or memory, and what cannot be computed at all? How will quantum physics change the landscape of computation? This book gives a playful and accessible introduction to the deep ideas of theoretical computer science. Num Pages: 1004 pages, 338 b/w line illustrations, and 30 b/w halftones. BIC Classification: PBCD; PH; UGK. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 249 x 195 x 55. Weight in Grams: 2316.

Paperback. The transition from school to university mathematics is seldom straightforward. Students are faced with a disconnect between the algorithmic and informal attitude to mathematics at school, versus a new emphasis on proof, based on logic, and a more abstract development of general concepts, based on set theory. This book bridges the divide. Num Pages: 416 pages, 113 b/w line drawings. BIC Classification: PBC. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 218 x 138 x 25. Weight in Grams: 506.
