It is a great way for a mathematician to learn what CS is all about. David is not only a first-rate expositor, but he has one foot firmly in Math and the other just as firmly in CS; e.g., he is chair of the Dept. of math and CS at Hobart & Wm. Smith, and while his thesis "Gauge-natural Bundles and Generalized Gauge Theories" was very pure math, it was the first math thesis written in TeX---and in those days you had to be a programmer to use TeX. (And BTW, Eck also has a great book on how to program with Java.) | |
