Discrete Mathematics with Applications
By Susanna S. Epp
About your course materials
Known for its accessible, precise approach, Epp's DISCRETE MATHEMATICS WITH APPLICATIONS, 5th Edition, introduces discrete mathematics with clarity and precision. Coverage emphasizes the major themes of discrete mathematics as well as the reasoning that underlies mathematical thought. Students learn to think abstractly as they study the ideas of logic and proof. While learning about logic circuits and computer addition, algorithm analysis, recursive thinking, computability, automata, cryptography and combinatorics, students discover that ideas of discrete mathematics underlie and are essential to today’s science and technology. The author’s emphasis on reasoning provides a foundation for computer science and upper-level mathematics courses.

Features, definitions, theorems, and exercise types are clearly marked and easily navigable, making the book an excellent reference that students will want to keep and continually refer back to in their later courses.
A large number of computer science applications are included, both to motivate students and to ease their transition into more advanced computer science courses.
Epp addresses inherent difficulties in understanding logic and language with very concrete and easy-to-conceptualize examples, an approach that helps students with a variety of backgrounds better comprehend basic mathematical reasoning, and enables them to construct sound mathematical arguments.
More than 2500 exercises provide ample practice for students, with numerous applied problems covering an impressive array of applications.
