Lectures on the Logic of Computer Programming

This monograph deals with aspects of the computer programming process that involve techniques derived from mathematical logic. The author focuses on proving that a given program produces the intended result whenever it halts, that a given program will eventually halt, that a given program is partially correct and terminates, and that a system of rewriting rules always halts. Also, the author describes the intermediate behavior of a given program, and discusses constructing a program to meet a given specification.Manna, Zohar is the author of 'Lectures on the Logic of Computer Programming' with ISBN 9780898711646 and ISBN 0898711649.
