The Discrete Math Workbook

<p>This practically-focused study guide introduces the fundamentals of discrete mathematics through an extensive set of classroom-tested problems. Each chapter presents a concise introduction to the relevant theory followed by a detailed account of common challenges and methods for overcoming these. The reader is then encouraged to practice solving such problems for themselves by tackling a varied selection of questions and assignments of different levels of complexity.</p><p>This updated second edition now covers the design and analysis of algorithms using Python and features more than 50 new problems complete with solutions.<br></p><p></p>Topics and features: provides a substantial collection of problems and examples of varying levels of difficulty suitable for both laboratory practical training and self-study; offers detailed solutions to each problem applying commonly-used methods and computational schemes; introduces the fundamentals of mathematical logic the theory of algorithms Boolean algebra graph theory sets relations functions and combinatorics; presents more advanced material on the design and analysis of algorithms including Turing machines asymptotic analysis and parallel algorithms; includes reference lists of trigonometric and finite summation formulae in an appendix together with basic rules for differential and integral calculus.</p><p></p><p></p><p>This hands-on workbook is an invaluable resource for undergraduate students of computer science informatics and electronic engineering. Suitable for use in a one- or two-semester course on discrete mathematics the text emphasizes the skills required to develop and implement an algorithm in a specific programming language.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p>
