Student Handbook for Discrete Mathematics with Ducks SRRSLEH [Paperback]

Student Handbook for Discrete Mathematics with Ducksis a Student Reference, Review, Supplemental Learning, and Example Handbook (SRRSLEH) that mirrors the content of the authors popular textbook Discrete Mathematics with Ducks(DMwD). This handbook provides a review of key material, illustrative examples, and new problems with accompanying solutions that are helpful even for those using a traditional discrete mathematics textbook.

Every chapter in SRRSLEH matches the corresponding chapter of DMwD. Chapters in SRRSLEH contain the following:

• A list of the notation introduced in the corresponding chapter
• A list of definitions that students need to know from the corresponding chapter
• Theorems/facts of note appearing in the corresponding chapter
• A list of proof techniques introduced, with templates and/or examples given for each one
• A selection of examples from DMwD, written out formally and briefly rather than colloquially as in DMwD

A quick refresher for any discrete math student, this handbook enables students to find information easily and reminds them of the terms and results they should know during their course.
