Wallis's book on discrete mathematics is a resource for an
introductory course in a subject fundamental to both mathematics
and computer science, a course that is expected not only to cover
certain specific topics but also to introduce students to important
modes of thought specific to each discipline . . . Lower-division
undergraduates through graduate students. -Choice reviews (Review
of the First Edition)
Very appropriately entitled as a 'beginner's guide', this
textbook presents itself as the first exposure to discrete
mathematics and rigorous proof for the mathematics or computer
science student. -Zentralblatt Math (Review of the First
Edition)
This second edition of A Beginner's Guide to Discrete
Mathematics presents a detailed guide to discrete mathematics and
its relationship to other mathematical subjects including set
theory, probability, cryptography, graph theory, and number theory.
This textbook has a distinctly applied orientation and explores a
variety of applications. Key Features of the second edition: *
Includes a new chapter on the theory of voting as well as numerous
new examples and exercises throughout the book * Introduces
functions, vectors, matrices, number systems, scientific notations,
and the representation of numbers in computers * Provides examples
which then lead into easy practice problems throughout the text and
full exercise at the end of each chapter * Full solutions for
practice problems are provided at the end of the book
This text is intended for undergraduates in mathematics and
computer science, however, featured special topics and applications
may also interest graduate students.
