Discrete Mathematics

The widespread use of computers and the rapid growth in computer science have led to a new emphasis on discrete mathematics, a discipline which deals with calculations involving a finite number of steps. This book provides a well-structured introduction to discrete mathematics, taking a self-contained approach that requires no ancillary knowledge of mathematics, avoids unnecessary abstraction, and incorporates a wide rage of topics, including graph theory, combinatorics, number theory, coding theory, combinatorial optimization, and abstract algebra. Amply illustrated with examples and exercises.Biggs, Norman L. is the author of 'Discrete Mathematics' with ISBN 9780198532521 and ISBN 0198532520.
