Suitable for one- or two-term introductory discrete mathematics courses taken by students from a variety of majors. This text gives an introduction to the primary themes in a discrete mathematics course and demonstrates the relevance and practicality of discrete mathematics to a variety of real-world applications.

Introduces the mathematics that supports advanced computer programming and the analysis of algorithms. This book includes more than 500 exercises, divided into six categories. Complete answers are provided for all exercises, except research problems. It is useful for computer scientists and also for users of mathematics in various disciplines.

This text attempts to change the way logic and discrete math are taught in computer science and mathematics. While many books treat logic simply as another topic of study, this book's uniqueness is its willingness to take it one step further. In the book, logic is treated as a basic tool, to be applied in essentially every other area.

Offers an introduction to discrete mathematics structures. This book balances relevant applications alongside the presentation of concepts, thus helping the students in better understanding and meeting the needs of computer science majors.

Offers a flexible organization, enabling instructors to adapt the book to their particular courses. This book gives emphasis on algorithms and applications. Including exercises, it features numerous computer science applications.

Offers factoids, anecdotes, definitions, quotations, and challenges that range from fun, quirky puzzles to insanely difficult problems. This book features mad mathematicians, strange number sequences, obstinate numbers, curious constants, magic squares, fractal geese, monkeys typing Hamlet , infinity, and more.
