Calculus high-order

More specifically, the basic notions of a Turing Machine, of computable functions and of undecidable properties are needed for Chapter VI (Decision Problems) the definitions of recursive, primitive recursive and partial recursive functions are helpful for Section F of Chapter IV and two of the proofs in Chapter VI. The basic facts regarding regular sets, context-free languages and pushdown store automata are helpful in Chapter VIII (Monadic Recursion Schemes) and in the proof of Theorem 3.14. For Chapter V (Correctness and Program Verification) it is useful to know the basic notation and ideas of the first order predicate calculus a highly abbreviated version of this material appears as Appendix A. 

Calculus and other high level mathematics courses threaten the high GPAs students need in order to be accepted in a Florida four-year university as first time in college (FTIC) students. This may be a reason why some talented students do not take high level mathematics courses during their...
