Discrete Mathematics Using a Computer offers a new, "hands-on"
approach to teaching Discrete Mathematics. Using software that is
freely available on Mac, PC and Unix platforms, the functional
language Haskell allows students to experiment with mathematical
notations and concepts -- a practical approach that provides
students with instant feedback and allows lecturers to monitor
progress easily.
This second edition of the successful textbook contains
significant additional material on the applications of formal
methods to practical programming problems. There are more examples
of induction proofs on small programs, as well as a new chapter
showing how a mathematical approach can be used to motivate AVL
trees, an important and complex data structure.
Designed for 1st and 2nd year undergraduate students, the book
is also well suited for self-study. No prior knowledge of
functional programming is required; everything the student needs is
either provided or can be picked up easily as they go along.
Key features include:
- Numerous exercises and examples
- A web page with software tools and additional practice
problems, solutions, and explanations, as well as course
slides
- Suggestions for further reading
Complete with an accompanying instructor's guide, available via
the web, this volume is intended as the primary teaching text for
Discrete Mathematics courses, but will also provide useful reading
for Conversion Masters and Formal Methods courses.
