STEVE SCHNEIDER is Professor of Computing in the Department of Computing, University of Surrey, UK. He has taught the B-method at undergraduate and postgraduate level over a number of years, and has published papers on B at international formal methods conferences and workshops.
'For a typically structured UK third year, one-semester undergraduate course, Steve Schneider's book with its supporting material offers a product that a lecturer can simply take out of the box and use directly. The completeness and thoroughness of coverage are very impressive, and the clarity of the exposition is exceptional. This book could go a long way towards making the B-Method more accessible to a wider range of computer science students than has been the case hitherto, and I can recommend it with enthusiasm.' - Richard Banach, Manchester University, The Journal of Software Testing, Verification and Reliability
