They provide a strong foundation in problem-solving techniques, algorithmic approach, verification and analysis of algorithms, as well as in every The text has a comprehensive index, and has both a PDF version and a well-designed interactive online format, with a contents tab and expandable solutions (allowing students to attempt a question before unveiling the solution). The text has several features that I found quite innovative and helpful. The presentation takes an inquiry-based approach, and most topics start with an “Investigate!” section that poses a number of questions or problems to help motivate students to understand the context for the topic they’re about to start – for example, the Combinatorial Proofs topic is preceded by an Investigate! Section that uses the Stanley cup tournament rules to make students think about how many ways a team can win, and how to generalize the problem space. The text also approaches mathematical proofs in a friendly, non-intimidating manner and provides different approaches to proving a given identity or theorem, helping students to broaden their mathematical toolkit.

the French mathematical genius Pierre-Simon de Fermat conjectured that the equation xn + yn = zn has no positive integer solutions,binary operators. On the other hand, we need only one proposition to perform negation, so ∼ is a unary operator. These operators can be employed The Student’s Solutions Manual contains additional helpful tips for studying mathematics, and preparing for and taking an examination in mathematics.

I don't see how it can be improved. This book is one of the available standard choices for an introductory course on discrete mathematics. The topical coverage is, by and large, similar to that of competing textbooks. Therefore, the reviewer’s job is to talk about what makes this book different from others. Flexible organization, allowing instructors the ability to mix core and optional topics easily to suit a wide variety of discrete math course syllabi and topic focus.
