This book explores the role of mathematical principles and techniques in the development of programming languages. The author asserts that mathematical ideas and techniques are vital for defining operations that allow the intentions of users to be realized in software. The book reviews the history of programming, from the early days of set theory through the development of very high-level languages, application-oriented languages, and program transformation techniques. The author argues that the use of mathematical ideas in programming will continue to grow as the efficiency of computers increases. This has profound implications for the future of software development, making this book essential reading for anyone interested in the theoretical foundations of computer science.

Excerpt from Internal, External, and Pragmatic Influences: Technical Perspectives in the Development of Programming Languages
We shall see that the dictions of mathematics serve very adequately to define the internally motivated portions of a program, and that closely related dictions can be used to describe the algorithms which allow mathematical operations to be realized with acceptable efficiency. Beyond this, other mathematical questions, having to do with verification of algo rithm correctness and transformation of programs between equivalent forms having different levels of efficiency, attach naturally to the internally motivated aspects of programs.
