For one or two term undergraduate courses in Discrete Mathematics for students of Mathematics and Computer Science.

Adopting a user-friendly, conversational—and at times humorous—style, these authors make the principles and practices of discrete mathematics as stimulating as possible while presenting comprehensive, rigorous coverage. Examples and exercises integrated throughout each chapter serve to piqué student interest and bring clarity to even the most complex concepts. Above all, the book is designed to engage today's students in the interesting, applicable facets of modern mathematics.

Net price: $96.00 (What's this?)Brief Description

Far more “user friendly” than the vast majority of similar books, this text is truly written with the “beginning” reader in mind. The pace is tight, the style is light, and the text emphasizes theorem proving throughout. The authors emphasize "Active Reading,” a skill vital to success in learning how to think mathematically (and write clean, error-free programs).
