Discrete Mathematics (Classic Version) [Paperback]

An ever-increasing percentage of mathematic applications involve discrete rather than continuous models. Driving this trend is the integration of the computer into virtually every aspect of modern society. Intended for a one-semester introductory course, the strong algorithmic emphasis of Discrete Mathematics is independent of a specific programming language, allowing students to concentrate on foundational problem-solving and analytical skills. Instructors get the topical breadth and organizational flexibility to tailor the course to the level and interests of their students.

Hallmark features of this title

• Approach: A strong algorithmic emphasis serves to unify the material. Algorithms are presented in English, eliminating the need for knowledge of a particular programming language.
• Choice of topics is based upon the recommendations of respected professional organizations (the MAA's Panel on Discrete Mathematics in the First Two Years, the NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, and the CBMS's recommendations for the mathematical education of teachers). this text offers a solid, comprehensive introduction to discrete mathematics.
• Flexible Design: The wealth of material in Discrete Mathematics gives instructors the freedom to tailor their course to suit the interests and level of their students. The relative indepl#ô
