This is a topic that becomes increasingly important every year as the digital age extends and grows more encompassing in every facet of life Discrete mathematics, the study of finite systems has become more important as the computer age has advanced, as computer arithmetic, logic, and combinatorics have become standard topics in the discipline. For mathematics majors it is one of the core required courses. This new edition will bring the outline into synch with Rosen, McGraw-Hill’s bestselling textbook in the field as well as up to speed in the current curriculum. New material will include expanded coverage of logic, the rules of inference and basic types of proofs in mathematical reasoning. This will give students a better understanding of proofs of facts about sets and functions. There will be increased emphasis on discrete probability and aspects of probability theory, and greater accessibility to counting techniques. This new edition features: Counting chapter will have new material on generalized combinations New chapter on computer arithmetic, with binary and hexagon addition and multiplication New Cryptology chapter including substitution and RSA method This outline is the perfect supplement to any course in discrete math and can also serve as a stand-alone textbook

The first edition of this book sold more than 100,000 copies—and this new edition will show you why! Schaum’s Outline of Discrete Mathematics shows you step by step how to solve the kind of problems you’re going to find on your exams. And this new edition features all the latest applications of discrete mathematics to computer science! This guide can be used as a supplement, to reinforce and strengthen the work you do with your class text. (It works well with virtually any discrete mathematics textbook.) But it is so comprehensive that it can even be used alone as a text in discrete mathematics or as independent study tool!

Contains a review of basic algebra, college algebra and analytic geometry, trigonometry, discrete mathematics, and calculus.

Helps readers use examples to solve problems; brush up before tests; find answers; study effectively; and get the big picture without poring over lengthy textbooks. This guide provides explanations of eigenvalues, eigenvectors, linear transformations, linear equations, vectors, and matrices.

Designed as a supplement to all current standard textbooks or as a textbook for a formal course in the mathematical methods of engineering and science.

Adapted from a modular undergraduate course on computational mathematics, Concise Computer Mathematics delivers an easily accessible, self-contained introduction to the basic notions of mathematics necessary for a computer science degree. The text reflects the need to quickly introduce students from a variety of educational backgrounds to a number of essential mathematical concepts. The material is divided into four units: discrete mathematics (sets, relations, functions), logic (Boolean types, truth tables, proofs), linear algebra (vectors, matrices and graphics), and special topics (graph theory, number theory, basic elements of calculus). The chapters contain a brief theoretical presentation of the topic, followed by a selection of problems (which are direct applications of the theory) and additional supplementary problems (which may require a bit more work). Each chapter ends with answers or worked solutions for all of the problems.
