Mathematics: A Discrete Introduction
By Edward R. Scheinerman
About your course materials
MATHEMATICS: A DISCRETE INTRODUCTION teaches students the fundamental concepts in discrete mathematics and proof-writing skills. With its clear presentation, the text shows students how to present cases logically beyond this course. All of the material is directly applicable to computer science and engineering, but it is presented from a mathematician's perspective. Students will learn that discrete mathematics is very useful, especially those whose interests lie in computer science and engineering, as well as those who plan to study probability, statistics, operations research, and other areas of applied mathematics.

Self-Tests: A self-test appears at the end of every chapter. The problems are of various degrees of difficulty, and complete answers appear in Appendix B.
Induction: The sections on mathematical induction have been reworked with new motivational material, more examples, and more problems. The induction section is now essentially independent of the proof by smallest counterexample section.
The book includes sections covering topics such as recurrence relations and combinatorial proof.
The introductory section, "Joy," motivates students by describing the pleasure of doing mathematics.
