Title: Too advanced for most CS students
Product review: Many of the other reviews are negative. I have a nagging feeling that the book was simply too advanced for several, though not necessarily all, of the reviewers.Look, most undergraduate computer science majors might not need a book as formal as this one. It really is best suited for computer scientists with a strong maths inclination. Many CS students study specific languages, some algorithms, and [hopefully] the hardware of an abstract Neumann machine.But concepts like the left quotient of a language are really only used by those who want a grand view across all computing languages. And who possibly want to design a new language. This is beyond the capabilities of most CS majors. And so is this book.
