Unf- tunately, it is in sharp contrast with current (industrial) practice in software design, where mathematical models are hardly used at all, even by those who, 2 in Holloway’s words “aspire to be engineers.” The rare exceptions are certain critical applications, where mathematical techniques are used under the general name formal methods.

Why, then, is education failing with respect to formal methods? – failing to convince students, academics and practitioners alike that formal methods are truly pragmatic; – failing to overcome a phobia of formality and mathematics; – failing to provide students with the basic skills and understanding required toadoptamoremathematicalandlogicalapp | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 2004 | 关键词 | Eiffel; algorithems design; algorithmics; algorithms; calculus; computer science education; formal method; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/b102075 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-540-23611-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-30472-2Series ISSN 0302-9743 Series E-ISSN 1611-3349 | issn_series | 0302-9743 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004 |
