1. ## i do not know which branch of mathematics I'm supposed to study. i need advice

pardon the English
hi studying to become a software engineer and i found this book. which branch of math is used in that book?
i've already studied precalculus and I'm reading calculus and multivariable-calculus and I'm also writing small programs in c.
I really want to do more complicated math, algorithms and software engineering. but i don't even recognize what kind of math is used in that book.
which books should i read? where do i go from here?

I could be wrong -- so hold out for a better answer, but it looks to be just a collection of different concepts from many branches.

you think it's mathematical logic? because that was my assumption.
