Product Description

Product Description

The Essence of Z is an exciting new publication that is ideal for a first course in formal specification using Z. In simple, straightforward terms, and assuming little previous mathematical knowledge, the book provides a clear understanding of how to use Z to construct specifications for software and other systems. Each new concept is reinforced by many exercises and examples, and several larger case studies are included to develop the skills necessary for specification development and to provide a clear context for the subject.

Format:Paperback
If you are new to logic and formal methods, this is the book to go for. I've read this book almost from cover to cover and I think it provides the reader with a very good, but basic, understanding of Z. Compared to other books on the subject it does not go into long-winded passages of historical facts and why things came to be, rather than trying to explain how things are done.
The perfect book for someone new to the subject, especially as a first book on that.
