Discrete Mathematical Structures (Paperback)

Book Summary of Discrete Mathematical Structures
Discrete Mathematical Structures combines a balance of theory and applications with mathematical rigor and an accessible writing style. The text is ideal for one- or two-semester courses and for students who are typically mathematics, mathematics education, or computer science majors.

Key Features
• Extensive applications cover a broad range of topics and appeal to diverse student interests, while the depth and quantity of exercises meet instructor needs
• Unique among similar texts, Part I features proofs as its central topic--taking the approach that basic set theory is the best area in which to first learn how to write proofs
