Recent developments in various algebraic structures and the applications of those in different areas play an important role in Science and Technology. One of the best tools to study the non-linear algebraic systems is the theory of Near-rings.The forward note by G

This book presents topics from mathematics which are relevant and useful to computer science. This book treats basic topics such as number theory, set theory, functions etc. in a simple way. Each chapter has been planned as independent unit so that various interrelated topics can also be read independently. Ample amount of examples and problems are given at the end of each chapter to help both the students and researchers. Hints and answers are also given for the problems in the exercise to help the students for self-learning.

It is written in such a manner that beginners can develop an interest in the subject. Besides providing the essentials, it also provides problem- solving techniques and develops the skill of how to think logically. Organized into two parts. The first part on discrete mathematics covers a wide range of topics such as predicate logic, recurrences, generating function, combinatorics, partially-ordered sets, lattices, Boolean algebra, finite state machines, finite fields, elementary number theory and discrete probability. The second part on graph theory covers planarity, colouring and partitioning, directed and algebraic graphs.
