This book was released on 2024-03-19 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topics covered in Discrete Mathematics have become essential tools in many areas of studies in recent years. This is primarily due to the revolution in technology, communications, and cyber security. The book treats major themes in a typical introductory modern Discrete Mathematics course: Propositional and predicate logic, proof techniques, set theory (including Boolean algebra, functions and relations), introduction to number theory, combinatorics and graph theory.An accessible, precise, and comprehensive approach is adopted in the treatment of each topic. The ability of abstract thinking and the art of writing valid arguments are emphasized through detailed proof of (almost) every result. Developing the ability to think abstractly and roguishly is key in any areas of science, information technology and engineering. Every result presented in the book is followed by examples and applications to consolidate its comprehension. The hope is that the reader ends up developing both the abstract reasoning as well as acquiring practical skills.All efforts are made to write the book at a level accessible to first-year students and to present each topic in a way that facilitates self-directed learning. Each chapter starts with basic concepts of the subject at hand and progresses gradually to cover more ground on the subject. Chapters are divided into sections and subsections to facilitate readings. Each section ends with its own carefully chosen set of practice exercises to reenforce comprehension and to challenge and stimulate readers.As an introduction to Discrete Mathematics, the book is written with the smallest set of prerequisites possible. Familiarity with basic mathematical concepts (usually acquired in high school) is sufficient for most chapters. However, some mathematical maturity comes in handy to grasp some harder concepts presented in the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey into Discrete Mathematics is designed for use in a first course in mathematical abstraction for early-career undergraduate mathematics majors. The important ideas of discrete mathematics are included—logic, sets, proof writing, relations, counting, number theory, and graph theory—in a manner that promotes development of a mathematical mindset and prepares students for further study. While the treatment is designed to prepare the student reader for the mathematics major, the book remains attractive and appealing to students of computer science and other problem-solving disciplines. The exposition is exquisite and engaging and features detailed descriptions of the thought processes that one might follow to attack the problems of mathematics. The problems are appealing and vary widely in depth and difficulty. Careful design of the book helps the student reader learn to think like a mathematician through the exposition and the problems provided. Several of the core topics, including counting, number theory, and graph theory, are visited twice: once in an introductory manner and then again in a later chapter with more advanced concepts and with a deeper perspective. Owen D. Byer and Deirdre L. Smeltzer are both Professors of Mathematics at Eastern Mennonite University. Kenneth L. Wantz is Professor of Mathematics at Regent University. Collectively the authors have specialized expertise and research publications ranging widely over discrete mathematics and have over fifty semesters of combined experience in teaching this subject.

Download or read book Discrete Mathematics written by Oscar Levin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Note: This is a custom edition of Levin's full Discrete Mathematics text, arranged specifically for use in a discrete math course for future elementary and middle school teachers. (It is NOT a new and updated edition of the main text.)This gentle introduction to discrete mathematics is written for first and second year math majors, especially those who intend to teach. The text began as a set of lecture notes for the discrete mathematics course at the University of Northern Colorado. This course serves both as an introduction to topics in discrete math and as the "introduction to proof" course for math majors. The course is usually taught with a large amount of student inquiry, and this text is written to help facilitate this.Four main topics are covered: counting, sequences, logic, and graph theory. Along the way proofs are introduced, including proofs by contradiction, proofs by induction, and combinatorial proofs.While there are many fine discrete math textbooks available, this text has the following advantages: - It is written to be used in an inquiry rich course.- It is written to be used in a course for future math teachers.- It is open source, with low cost print editions and free electronic editions.

Download or read book Discrete Mathematics and Graph Theory written by K. Erciyes and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of discrete mathematics is one of the first courses on curricula in various educational disciplines such as Computer Science, Mathematics and Engineering. Graphs are key data structures used to represent networks, chemical structures, games etc. and are increasingly used more in various applications such as bioinformatics and the Internet. Graph theory has gone through an unprecedented growth in the last few decades both in terms of theory and implementations; hence it deserves a thorough treatment which is not adequately found in any other contemporary books on discrete mathematics, whereas about 40% of this textbook is devoted to graph theory. Employing an algorithmic approach, this clearly structured textbook/reference presents a comprehensive review of the fundamental principles of discrete mathematics with emphasis on graph theory. It aims to be a study companion and a guide for discrete mathematics and graph theory. Topics and features: Provides a detailed and concise review of the main concepts of discrete mathematics Presents a focus on graph theory concepts Surveys main algorithmic methods Employs algorithmic solutions to many discrete math and graph theory problems Includes chapter summaries, end-of-chapter review questions, numerous examples, and exercises This unique textbook can serve as a comprehensive manual of discrete mathematics and graph theory for Computer Science or non-CS majors. In addition, its easy-to-read chapters, filled with examples, make it a highly useful reference and study aid for professionals and researchers who have not taken any discrete math course previously. Dr. K. Erciyes is a professor of Computer Engineering at Üsküdar University, İstanbul. His other publications include the Springer titles Distributed Graph Algorithms for Computer Networks, Distributed and Sequential Algorithms for Bioinformatics, Guide to Graph Algorithms and Distributed Real-Time Systems.
Download or read book Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science written by John Schlipf and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science by Gary Haggard , John Schlipf , Sue Whitesides A major aim of this book is to help you develop mathematical maturity-elusive as thisobjective may be. We interpret this as preparing you to understand how to do proofs ofresults about discrete structures that represent concepts you deal with in computer science.A correct proof can be viewed as a set of reasoned steps that persuade another student,the course grader, or the instructor about the truth of the assertion. Writing proofs is hardwork even for the most experienced person, but it is a skill that needs to be developedthrough practice. We can only encourage you to be patient with the process. Keep tryingout your proofs on other students, graders, and instructors to gain the confidence that willhelp you in using proofs as a natural part of your ability to solve problems and understandnew material. The six chapters referred to contain the fundamental topics. Thesechapters are used to guide students in learning how to express mathematically precise ideasin the language of mathematics.The two chapters dealing with graph theory and combinatorics are also core materialfor a discrete structures course, but this material always seems more intuitive to studentsthan the formalism of the first four chapters. Topics from the first four chapters are freelyused in these later chapters. The chapter on discrete probability builds on the chapter oncombinatorics. The chapter on the analysis of algorithms uses notions from the core chap-ters but can be presented at an informal level to motivate the topic without spending a lot oftime with the details of the chapter. Finally, the chapter on recurrence relations primarilyuses the early material on induction and an intuitive understanding of the chapter on theanalysis of algorithms. The material in Chapters 1 through 4 deals with sets, logic, relations, and functions.This material should be mastered by all students. A course can cover this material at differ-ent levels and paces depending on the program and the background of the students whenthey take the course. Chapter 6 introduces graph theory, with an emphasis on examplesthat are encountered in computer science. Undirected graphs, trees, and directed graphsare studied. Chapter 7 deals with counting and combinatorics, with topics ranging from theaddition and multiplication principles to permutations and combinations of distinguishableor indistinguishable sets of elements to combinatorial identities.Enrichment topics such as relational databases, languages and regular sets, uncom-putability, finite probability, and recurrence relations all provide insights regarding howdiscrete structures describe the important notions studied and used in computer science.Obviously, these additional topics cannot be dealt with along with the all the core materialin a one-semester course, but the topics provide attractive alternatives for a variety of pro-grams. This text can also be used as a reference in courses. The many problems provideample opportunity for students to deal with the material presented.
