The ever-increasing dependence of our lives and livelihoods on the correct functioning of computer software means that logic and program correctness are core elements of all good computer science degrees. This book presents both these topics in one self-contained text. The focus of the book is on "correct-by-construction" program design -- the discipline of calculating programs from their specifications. Modern, calculational logic is introduced in combination with key program construction principles, such as the assignment axiom, loop invariants and bound functions. This material is intertwined with motivational discussion, programming examples and challenging problem-solving exercises, bringing the book alive for its intended audience, undergraduates in computer science and mathematics, as well as professional programmers wishing to further develop their programming skills. The book covers the elements of logic and program correctness that form the foundations of further study --- the logical connectives and their algebraic properties, induction, quantifiers and program construction rules. Substantial examples of program construction are included. Many exercises are provided, all with detailed solutions.

Roland Emmerich directs this political thriller based around the
notion that William Shakespeare was not in fact the author of the
canon of plays attributed to him. In Elizabethan England, political
intrigue abounds as the Tudors and the Cecils battle it out over
the succession of Queen Elizabeth I (Joely Richardson/Vanessa
Redgrave), and the Essex Rebellion mobilises against her. Enter the
dashing and wildly talented Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford
(Jamie Campbell Bower/Rhys Ifans), who not only fathers an
illegitimate son in a clandestine incestuous relationship with
Queen Elizabeth, but is also the secret author of the plays labeled
with the name of William Shakespeare (Rafe Spall).
Double bill of British dramas about football violence and
hooliganism. 'The Football Factory' (2004) is based on the novel by
John King. Tommy Johnson (Danny Dyer) is a bright but bored
30-year-old with a steady job and close-knit family who lives for
the weekend life of casual sex, lager, drugs - and violence.
Through him we meet three other males in his world: Billy Bright
(Frank Harper), a right-wing fascist full of bitterness at a
country that he perceives as having failed him; Zeberdee (Roland
Manookian), a mouthy hooligan whose life revolves around crime and
drugs; and Bill Farrell (Dudley Sutton), a 70-year-old war veteran
who tries to enjoy every day to the limit. Shot in documentary
style using a handheld camera, the film realistically captures the
lure and potency of football violence. 'Arrivederci Millwall'
(1990) follows a group of hardcore Millwall supporters as they
travel to Bilbao in Spain for England's World Cup matches in 1982.
Their rowdy behaviour soon leads them into trouble, and the
violence escalates as Billy Jarvis (Kevin O'Donohoe) steals a gun
to avenge his brother's death in the Falklands conflict.

Double bill of British crime dramas. 'The Rise and Fall of a White
Collar Hooligan' (2012) follows Mike Jacobs (Nick Nevern), a
football casual who is no stranger to finding himself on the wrong
