About the Book
Most C books teach syntax. This one teaches thinking.
The same methodology used to certify aircraft flight controls and pacemakers — applied to learning C from the ground up. Not because you'll build a pacemaker, but because the discipline makes you a better programmer.
The approach: MATH → STRUCT → CODE → TEST
Before writing a single line, you'll define the mathematical properties your code must satisfy. Then design data structures that enforce those properties. Then implement. Then verify.
This isn't academic exercise. It's how safety-critical systems are actually built.
