Discrete Mathematics With Applications

Product Information

While learning about such concepts as logic circuits and computer addition, algorithm analysis, recursive thinking, computability, automata, cryptography, and combinatorics, students discover that the ideas of discrete mathematics underlie and are essential to the science and technology of the computer age. In mathematics, the graph can be used in certain parts of topology, that is, knot theory and in geometry. De Morgan’s laws, although important, can be confusing, so be careful when you negate a conjunction or a disjunction.

DISCRETE MATHEMATICS WITH APPLICATIONS, 5th Edition, explains complex, abstract concepts with clarity and precision and provides a strong foundation for computer science and upper-level mathematics courses of the computer age. Mathematical logic also has some application which is used in formal verification of software and automated theorem proving. Just as mathematics can be divided into discrete and continuous mathematics, computers can be divided into digital and analog. Again, the last two pages of the chapter, those devoted to open problems and difficult examples, are a pleasure to read. discovered thefundamental theorem of calculus, and invented the popular notations — d/dx for differentiation and for integration.

Overall, Epp's emphasis on reasoning provides students with a strong foundation for computer science and upper-level mathematics courses. Each section starts with “Investigate” questions that engage and encourage students to participate in a topic discussion. Primitive versions were used as the primary textbook for that course since Spring 2013, and have been used by other instructors as a free additional resource. CENTER FOR OPEN EDUCATION | The Open Education Network is based in the Center for Open Education in the University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human Development.

Flexible organization, allowing instructors the ability to mix core and optional topics easily to suit a wide variety of discrete math course syllabi and topic focus.The tone is infectious and I found myself as I read the book feeling as if I were in a lecture hall attentively listening to the author, Oscar Levin.
