In 1854, he published his most important work, An Investigation to the Laws of Thought, in which he This textbook, “Discrete Mathematics: An Open Introduction”, by Oscar Levin, provides a good overview of topics in Discrete Mathematics. 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. They provide a strong foundation in problem-solving techniques, algorithmic approach, verification and analysis of algorithms, as well as in every

Discrete Mathematics with Applications: Epp, Susanna S

The next two examples∗ illustrate the power of truth tables in decisionmaking and in arriving at logical conclusions in the midst of seemingly This subject is essentially timeless because the principles are mathematical and will always be true and valid. There is one problem involving Continental Airlines that no longer exists, but that is a minor quibble. This does not make the text obsolete.This book covers all the important topics such as set theory, logic, counting techniques, number theory, graph theory etc. These are the topics normally covered in any typical discrete math course. The "investigate" part for each concept is an excellent approach. It provides a good motivation for the topic that is going to be covered. Many of my students liked this approach. I used this book for my course on "Computational Discrete Mathematics". My students also liked the fact that they did not have to pay any money to use the book. Discrete Math is usually the first course where the students come across theorems and proofs. Many students find them to be hard to comprehend. However, the approach taken by this author is excellent. He goes through the proofs in much more details than most of the other books on this topic. This really helps the students to understand the material well. It is preparing the students to take more proof intensive courses such as Linear Algebra. This is the part I very much like in the book. One can easily move from one part of the book to another. The figures drawn to illustrate graphs etc., are appropriate.
