A First Course in Discrete Mathematics (Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series) - Softcover
Book 37 of 87: Springer Undergraduate Mathematics
Synopsis
Discrete mathematics has now established its place in most undergraduate mathematics courses. This textbook provides a concise, readable and accessible introduction to a number of topics in this area, such as enumeration, graph theory, Latin squares and designs. It is aimed at second-year undergraduate mathematics students, and provides them with many of the basic techniques, ideas and results. It contains many worked examples, and each chapter ends with a large number of exercises, with hints or solutions provided for most of them. As well as including standard topics such as binomial coefficients, recurrence, the inclusion-exclusion principle, trees, Hamiltonian and Eulerian graphs, Latin squares and finite projective planes, the text also includes material on the ménage problem, magic squares, Catalan and Stirling numbers, and tournament schedules.

Review
"Wie der Titel andeutet, handelt es sich bei diesem Buch um eine elementare Einführung in Denkweisen und Methoden der Diskreten Mathematik. Die fachlichen Voraussetzungen an den Leser sind minimal. Darauf aufbauend wird ein doch recht buntes Bild entwickelt, bestehend vor allem aus den wichtigsten Konzepten aus Kombinatorik und Graphentheorie sowie einigen spezielleren Themen wie Designs und Codes.
... Der Vorteil besteht darin, dass auch dem mathematischen Laien auf knapp 200 Seiten ein durchaus einprägsames Bild von einem Zweig der Mathematik vermittelt wird, der in unserer Zeit u.a. durch die Allgegenwart der sogenannten Informationstechnologie extrem an Bedeutung gewonnen hat."
Internationale Mathematische Nachrichten, Nr. 187, August 2001
