Discrete Mathematics - Elementary and Beyond (Paperback, 2003 ed.)

The aim of this book is NOT to cover discrete mathematics in depth. Rather, it discusses a number of selected results and methods, mostly from the areas of combinatorics and graph theory, along with some elementary number theory and combinatorial geometry. The authors develop most topics to the extent that they can describe the discrete mathematics behind an important application of mathematics such as discrete optimization problems, the Law of Large Numbers, cryptography, and coding to name a few. Another feature that is not covered in other discrete mathematics books is the use of ESTIMATES (How many digits does 100! have? or Which is larger: 2100 or 100!?). There are questions posed in the text and problems at the end of each chapter with solutions for many of them at the end of the book. The book is based on a course taught for several years by two of the authors at Yale University.
