Description
Mathematical Foundations of Blockchains is a two-volume work on blockchains. Blockchain is a novel paradigm for a distributed ledger. Volume 1 is on the fundamentals of blockchains and consists of an overview of blockchains, essential elements of blockchains, and the mathematics required for understanding the workings of blockchains. Volume 2 develops mathematical models to enhance the understanding of blockchains.
This work can be used by students of electrical engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, and economics. Students in business school can also benefit. It can also be used by professionals and researchers in the field who would like a quick review of the basics of the subject.
