Discrete Mathematics and its Applications is a focused introduction to the primary themes in a discrete mathematics course, as introduced through extensive applications, expansive discussion, and detailed exercise sets. These themes include mathematical reasoning, combinatorial analysis, discrete structures, algorithmic thinking, and enhanced problem-solving skills through modeling. Its intent is to demonstrate the relevance and practicality of discrete mathematics to all students. The Fifth Edition includes a more thorough and linear presentation of logic, proof types and proof writing, and mathematical reasoning. This enhanced coverage will provide students with a solid understanding of the material as it relates to their immediate field of study and other relevant subjects. The inclusion of applications and examples to key topics has been significantly addressed to add clarity to every subject. True to the Fourth Edition, the text-specific web site supplements the subject matter in meaningful ways, offering additional material for students and instructors. Discrete math is an active subject with new discoveries made every year. The continual growth and updates to the web site reflect the active nature of the topics being discussed. The book is appropriate for a one- or two-term introductory discrete mathematics course to be taken by students in a wide variety of majors, including computer science, mathematics, and engineering. College Algebra is the only explicit prerequisite.

Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications

Handbook of Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics provides a comprehensive reference volume for mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers, as well as students and reference librarians. The material is presented so that key information can be located and used quickly and easily. Each chapter includes a glossary. Individual topics are covered in sections and subsections within chapters, each of which is organized into clearly identifiable parts: definitions, facts, and examples. Examples are provided to illustrate some of the key definitions, facts, and algorithms. Some curious and entertaining facts and puzzles are also included. Readers will also find an extensive collection of biographies. This second edition is a major revision. It includes extensive additions and updates. Since the first edition appeared in 1999, many new discoveries have been made and new areas have grown in importance, which are covered in this edition.

Handbook of Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics

Este livro foi elaborado para ser facilmente entendido por iniciantes. Escrito de forma direta, a linguagem matemática precisa é usada sem formalismo e abstração excessivos. Os conceitos e técnicas da matemática discreta, até chegar à lógica booleana, teoria dos grafos e modelagem computacional, demonstrados de forma eficiente, fornecem todos os fundamentos, sem diluir o conteúdo. Induz os alunos a pensar lógica e matematicamente, sendo uma ferramenta útil aos estudos futuros, especialmente para aqueles que continuarem na ciência da computação, matemática aplicada e engenharia. Demonstra a relevância e a praticidade da matemática discreta para uma variedade de aplicações no mundo real, de ciência da computação a redes de dados, psicologia, química, engenharia, lingüística, biologia, negócios e muitos outros campos.
