Description

Table of Contents

Author Bios

The widespread use of computers and the rapid growth in computer science have led to a new emphasis on discrete mathematics, a discipline which deals with calculations involving a finite number of steps. This book provides a well-structured introduction to discrete mathematics, taking a self-contained approach that requires no ancillary knowledge of mathematics, avoids unnecessary abstraction, and incorporates a wide rage of topics, including graph theory, combinatorics, number theory, coding theory, combinatorial optimization, and abstract algebra.

Amply illustrated with examples and exercises.
