Offers a thorough and comprehensive tutorial introduction to Z, taking as its starting point the practical use of this formal specification language. After briefly explaining what Z is and why it is a good method for specifying software components, covers Z's basic mathematical toolkit, the fundamental ideas of the schema calculus, and the methods of reasoning. Specific case studies illustrate all aspects of Z and the mathematical notations that must be covered. Also discusses how Z specifications can be animated using a high-level modern functional programming language and Prolog. Standard notation is used throughout, and many proofs and fully explained exercises are included. With its helpful appendices and an annotated bibliography that contains many pointers to the ever-increasing literature on Z, this work will serve as a ready reference manual of the most frequently used Z notations
