Collected here are twenty papers on software engineering by the late mathematician and software methods pioneer Harlan D. Mills. Written between 1967 and 1981, the papers document Mills's technical and managerial approaches for achieving both high productivity and improved quality. Cited time and again in books and papers on software development, they are required reading for all software developers, their managers, and students alike. Three of the essays treat mathematical topics and communicate Mills's fundamental premise that software engineers who use and understand the mathematics of programming consistently produce better software. Other essays cover topics such as chief programmer teams, top-down programming on large systems, reading programs as a managerial activity, and buying better quality software. Mills's writings and teachings have had a profound influence on software productivity worldwide. In Software Productivity, his provocative ideas reveal techniques and practices that are now in common use throughout the software engineering field.
