The primary focus of this text is not to provide a rigorous mathematical foundation for Computer Science students; instead, it is targeted towards first and second year undergraduate math majors who will go on to teach middle school and high school mathematics. In computer science, a lot of things are represented by graphs that are computational devices, networks of communication, the flow of computations, data organization, etc. In mathematics, the graph can be used in certain parts of topology, that is, knot theory and in geometry. Graph theory and algebraic theory both have a close link with each other. There is also another option of continuous graphs. The domain of discrete mathematics is going to contain most of the research part of graph theory.

Just as mathematics can be divided into discrete and continuous mathematics, computers can be divided into digital and analog. Digital computers an electrical network, whenever possible, by an equivalent simpler network to minimize cost, as illustrated in the following example. To this end, I found the text to be extremely well written. It has a joyful, upbeat, and enthusiastic voice. I found it very engaging and not at all boring.

the resulting proposition; accordingly, parentheses are not needed to indicate the grouping. In other words, the expressions p ∧ q ∧ r and p ∨ q ∨ r The framework seems totally consistent. I don't see any problems. From what I know of the subjects involved, the terminology seems appropriate and consistent Some modern textbooks have many more pictures, sidebars, and bells and whistles. This book does not have a lot of that, but the limited numbers of illustrations are clear and do not confuse the reader. The links from the index are excellent. This reviewer tends to think that a lot of textbooks simply distract the reader with all of the pictures and sidebars. The book has a simple clear interface. It is not a fancy book and it does not need to be. The material in the book was well-edited and proof-read. I didn’t encounter obvious mistakes or omissions in my first reading of the text, and only a few typos (e.g. “bijectitve”). The next two examples∗ illustrate the power of truth tables in decisionmaking and in arriving at logical conclusions in the midst of seemingly

Proof solutions are intuitively developed in two steps, a discussion on how to approach the proof and a summary of the solution, allowing students the choice of faster or more deliberate instruction depending on how well they understand the problem.
