Lower-division undergraduates through graduate students. —Choice reviews (Review of the First Edition)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery 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)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text is intended for undergraduates in mathematics and computer science, however, featured special topics and applications may also interest graduate students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Birkhäuser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-10-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780817682859\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-8176-8286-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 427\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Birkhauser Boston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45417382805644,"sku":"9780817682859","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780817682859.jpg?v=1775792042","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780817682859","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
