More About This Textbook

Overview

Discrete Mathematics, Second Edition is designed for an introductory course in discrete mathematics for the prospective computer scientist, applied mathematician, or engineer who wants to learn how the ideas apply to computer sciences. The choice of topics-and the breadth of coverage-reflects the desire to provide students with the foundations needed to successfully complete courses at the upper division level in undergraduate computer science courses.

This book differs in several ways from current books about discrete mathematics. It presents an elementary and unified introduction to a collection of topics that has not been available in a single source. A major feature of the book is the unification of the material so that it does not fragment into a collection of seemingly unrelated ideas.
