CS: Software Engineering Sci: Mathematics

Learn to apply formal methods to systematically develop correct, loop-based programs, an essential skill for computer programmers. Is my program correct? Will it give the right output for all possible permitted inputs? Computers are now essential in everyday life. Incorrect programs lead to frustration in the best case and disaster in the worst. Thus, knowing how to construct correct programs is a skill that all who program computers must strive to master.
