Mathematical preliminaries for computer networking Book

Intended for the computer programmer who wants to understand the mathematical aspects of data communications, this book mixes traditional techniques and novel applications, starting with the basics and gradually introducing newer and more complex topics. It focuses on the practical size of mathematics, using examples that relate to data communications when demonstrating the mathematical concepts. Although numerous mathematical theorems are introduced and their utility is demonstrated, this is primarily an applications-oriented, non-mathematically rigorous work. Wherever possible, the techniques are introduced in a way that makes them extremely useful in future endeavors in computer code.
