Discrete Mathematical Structures, Sixth Edition, offers a clear and concise presentation of the fundamental concepts of discrete mathematics. Ideal for a one-semester introductory course, this text contains more genuine computer science applications than any other text in the field.
This book is written at an appropriate level for a wide variety of majors and non-majors, and assumes a college algebra course as a prerequisite.
