This book introduces the mathematics that supports advanced computer Programming and the analysis of algorithms. The primary aim of its well-known authors is to provide a solid and relevant base of mathematical skills--the skills needed to solve complex problems, to evaluate horrendous sums, and to discover subtle Patterns in data. It is an indispensable text and reference not only for computer scientists--the authors themselves rely heavily on it! but for serious users Of mathematics in virtually every discipline. Concrete mathematics is a blending of continuous and disCRETE mathematics: "More concretely," the authors explain, "it is the controlled manipulation of mathematical formulas,using a collection of techniques for solving problems." The subject mater is primarily an expansion of the Mathematical Preliminaries section in Knuth's c1assic Art of Computer Programming, but the style of presentation is more leisurely, and individual topics are covered more deeply. Several new topics have been added, and the most significant ideas have been traced to their historical roots. The book includes more than 500 exercises, divided into six categories. Complete answers are provided for all exercises, except research problems, making the book particularly valuable for self-study.
By the way, there's a mnemonic for remembering which case uses floors and which uses ceilings: Half-open intervals that include the left endpoint but not the right (such as 0 ≤ θ < 1) are slightly more common than those that include the right endpoint but not the left; and floors are slightly more common than ceilings. So by Murphy's Law, the correct rule is the opposite of what we'd expect -- ceilings for [α..β) and floors for (α..β]. (查看原文)
