The Science of Computing: shaping a discipline.
CRC Press. 2015
This book presents a rich picture of computing from the viewpoints of the field’s champions.
It focuses on the mathematical, engineering, and scientific traditions of computing.
The book first looks at computing as a formal, theoretical discipline
that is in many ways similar to mathematics, yet different in crucial ways.
It then explores the development of computing as an engineering discipline.
The book concludes with the view of computing as a science in its own right –
not just as a tool for other sciences.
