This book is based on a course given to second-year computer science undergraduates at the University of Sussex in the spring of 1988 and 1989. It offers an elementary introduction to the semantics of programming languages in a form which is designed to be accessible to students who are not very advanced in their undergraduate career. All the material in the book may easily be covered in a one-term course. There are very few prerequisites. Students who have undertaken an introductory programming course and who are familiar with elementary mathematical notation should have little difficulty in following it. A first course in discrete mathematics would be more than sufficient to cover the required background material.

Whilist the treatment of this subject is normally very mathematical, The Semantics of Programming Languages cuts a straightforward and simple path throught the theory, leading the reader to an understanding of what it means to give a formal description to programming languages. The text is self-contained and there are no prerequisites other that a knowledge of some programming language and elementary mathematics. 380 gr. Libro. Seller Inventory # 9780471927723LEA1846
