Formal Methods; and i don't think i am going to get out of this rabbit hole anytime soon in the future.
More than just using some formal language/tool i had wanted to learn about the Mathematics/Ideas behind formal methods and how they are embodied in TLA/Z language/B method/etc. After a survey of available books i zeroed in on Understanding Formal Methods by Jean François Monin hoping to get an overall idea of how everything comes together. But what i got was a fire-hose/mishmash of so many different sub-fields/notations/abstractions used in the field that it is quite a struggle to get a good grasp on anything. The author's style of writing is obtuse/challenging and the contents are more of a survey/introduction than detailed explanations.
The result is that i am now interested in figuring out a whole lot of mathematical/logical sub-fields which i suspect is going to occupy a lot of my time in the future.
