The textbook has been developed while teaching the Discrete Mathematics course at the University of Northern Colorado. Along the way, proofs are introduced, including proofs by contradiction, proofs by induction, and combinatorial proofs. An introductory chapter covering mathematical statements, sets, and functions helps students gain familiarity with the language of mathematics, and two additional topics (generating functions and number theory) are also included. Discrete Mathematics − It involves distinct values; i.e. If you are using the book in a class you are teaching, instructor resources are available by request. 0000006655 00000 n
Welcome to Discrete Mathematics. • Probability (again, routinely treated in discrete math classes, but only when we assume that the underlying “probability space” is finite or countably infinite). While the book began as a set of lecture notes, it now contains a number of features that should support its use as a primary textbook:

Discrete Mathematics and its Applications, Seventh Edition, is intended for one- or two-term introductory discrete mathematics courses taken by students from a wide variety of majors, including computer science, mathematics, and engineering. Some exercises also allow you to enter and check your work, so you can try multiple times without spoiling the answer. Sign In. 0000001141 00000 n
