Hardcover. Zustand: Good. A central problem in the design of programming systems is to provide methods for verifying that computer code performs to specification. This book presents a rigorous foundation for defining Boolean categories, in which the relationship between specification and behaviour can be explored. The book's distinction is that the approach relies on only a single program construct (the first-order theory of categories), the others being derived mathematically from four axioms. The book is based in part on courses taught by the author, and will appeal to graduate students and researchers in theoretical computer science.…
