Short Course in Discrete Mathematics

What sort of mathematics do I need for computer science? In response to this frequently asked question a pair of professors at the University of California at San Diego created this text. Its sources are two of the university's most basic courses: Discrete Mathematics and Mathematics for Algorithm and System Analysis. Intended for use by sophomores in the first of a two-quarter sequence the text assumes some familiarity with calculus. Topics include Boolean functions and computer arithmetic; logic; number theory and cryptography; sets and functions; equivalence and order; and induction sequences and series. Multiple choice questions for review appear throughout the text. Original 2005 edition. Notation Index. Subject Index.
