"The Annotated Turing" by Christian Petzold made a huge impression on me around that age. It doesn't discuss analysis but it gives a nice walkthrough of Turing's classic paper where he introduces the Turing machine and uses it to solve the decidability problem of Diophantine equations.
Also, "Street Fighting Mathematics" from the MIT press
- rramadass 6y agoThe author's name is "Charles Petzold" and yes "The Annotated Turing" is a great book. All of Petzold's books are excellent, in particular; "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" should be read by everybody to understand how Computers really work.
