Includes bibliographical references and index.
The foundations: logic and proofs -- Basic structures: sets, functions, sequences, sums, and matrices -- Algorithms -- Number theory and cryptography -- Induction and recursion -- Counting -- Discrete probability -- Advanced counting techniques -- Relations
-- Graphs -- Trees -- Boolean algebra -- Modeling computation -- Appendices -- Axioms for the real numbers and the positive integers -- Exponential and logarithmic functions -- Pseudocode.
"The eight edition of Kenneth Rosen’s Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications is a substantial revision of the most widely used textbook in its field. This new edition reflects extensive feedback from instructors, students, and more than 50 reviewers. It also reflects the insights of the author based on his experience in industry and academia. Key benefits of this edition are:
Ease of Use – Expanded and improved discussions, more steps and reasons in key proofs, templates for certain types of proofs, including mathematical induction, and the use of the Bourbaki dangerous bend symbol all make this edition a better teaching tool.
Enhanced Flexibility – The improved organization will help instructors customize their courses, making it easier to select chapters and sections to cover, and the needs of more instructors will be met with the earlier coverage of some key topics.
Broader Range of Applications – The new edition introduces many new applications to such diverse areas as the internet and mathematical biology.
Greater Depth – Instructors who want to dive deeper into particular parts of discrete mathematics will find more material in key areas, including logic, algorithms, number theory, and graph theory. Readers will find 6 new biographies, more historical information, and numerous updates throughout the book.
Extensive Companion Web Resources – Students will be better able to learn the core material and explore deeper using an extensive collection of web resources; instructors will find it easier and more rewarding to teach using these materials.
Read the preface and examine the text yourself to learn about the effective features of the book and the many improvements!"--Back cover
