《数学＋＋》是一本简洁易懂的关于20世纪6个选定数学领域的介绍，提供了许多现代数学工具，这些工具在计算机科学、工程学等领域的当前研究中被广泛应用。这些领域包括测度论、高维几何、傅里叶分析、群表示、多元多项式和拓扑学。对每个领域，作者介绍了基本概念、例子和结果。本书阐述清晰易懂，强调直观理解，并包括精心挑选的练习作为内容的一部分。理论计算机科学和离散数学的一些应用对理论做了补充——有些应用非常令人惊讶。各章相互独立，读者可以按任意顺序学习。
作者假定读者已经学习了基础数学课程。虽然作者是在教授理论计算机科学和离散数学的博士生时构思这本书的，但它适合更广泛的读者阅读，例如其他研究方向的数学家、决定从事专业研究的数学学生或工程学等领域的专家。
