Discrete Mathematics (Hardcover)

Hardcover. These active and well-known authors have come together to create a fresh, innovative, and timely approach to Discrete Math. One innovation uses several major threads to help weave core topics into a cohesive whole. Throughout the book the application of mathematical reasoning is emphasized to solve problems while the authors guide the student in thinking about, reading, and writing proofs in a wide variety of contexts. Another important content thread, as the sub-title implies, is the focus on mathematical puzzles, games and magic tricks to engage students. Based on the ACM guidelines, Discrete Mathematics will help readers master and apply the central topics of discrete math. As they progress through the early chapters, they'll quickly learn how to think and write about mathematics. The book then explores abstract mathematics, providing a detailed look at sets and functions.
