Preface
This book is intended to serve as a textbook for an undergraduate or graduate course in theoretical distributed computing or as a reference for researchers who are, or want to become, active in this area. Previously, the material covered here was scattered across a collection of conference and journal publications, often terse and using different notations and terminology. Here we have assembled a self-contained explanation of the mathematics for computer science readers and of the computer science for mathematics readers.
Each of these chapters includes exercises. We think it is essential for readers to spend time solving these problems. Readers should have some familiarity with basic discrete mathematics, including induction, sets, ...
