We used the book for ECE 3020 - Mathematical foundations of computer Engineering at Gatech. Lecture notes have been taken down, but here are our homework solutions: http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~dblough/3020/solutions/hw_solut...

This is one thing about GaTech that really annoys me. Every professor seems to remove thier notes at the end of every semester and only post them when the content becomes relevent to the course. You cant look ahead and cant reference them afterwards.

From the first paragraph of the first chapter:

> But fundamentally, computer science is a science of abstraction — creating the right model for thinking about a problem and devising the appropriate mechanizable techniques to solve it.

Too often in computer science education these days, this essential fact is lost.

This is so universal about computer science and programming ... I have it on my wall!
