Journey into Discrete Mathematics is designed for use in a first
course in mathematical abstraction for early-career undergraduate
mathematics majors. The important ideas of discrete mathematics are
included-logic, sets, proof writing, relations, counting, number
theory, and graph theory-in a manner that promotes development of a
mathematical mindset and prepares students for further study. While
the treatment is designed to prepare the student reader for the
mathematics major, the book remains attractive and appealing to
students of computer science and other problem-solving disciplines.
The exposition is exquisite and engaging and features detailed
descriptions of the thought processes that one might follow to
attack the problems of mathematics. The problems are appealing and
vary widely in depth and difficulty. Careful design of the book
helps the student reader learn to think like a mathematician
through the exposition and the problems provided. Several of the
core topics, including counting, number theory, and graph theory,
are visited twice: once in an introductory manner and then again in
a later chapter with more advanced concepts and with a deeper
perspective. Owen D. Byer and Deirdre L. Smeltzer are both
Professors of Mathematics at Eastern Mennonite University. Kenneth
L. Wantz is Professor of Mathematics at Regent University.
Collectively the authors have specialized expertise and research
publications ranging widely over discrete mathematics and have over
fifty semesters of combined experience in teaching this subject.
