Abstract

I am a fan of Sheldon Ross' textbooks on probability; they are concise and full of interesting exercises. He and Erol Pek¨oz have just released a second edition of A Second Course in Probability (Cambridge University Press, 2023), which promises a rigorous but accessible and modern introduction to a selection of advanced topics in the field. Javier Esparza's work includes using automata to study model checking, program analysis and verification. His book (coauthored with Michael Blondin) Automata Theory: An Algorithmic Approach (The MIT Press, 2023) emphasizes efficient constructions of (ω-)automata and other algorithmic concerns. Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture by New Yorker staff writer Kyle Chayka (Doubleday, 2024) investigates the pervasive impact of algorithms on consumption and distribution of culture and explores ways to reclaim our freedom from the digital overlord.
