Discrete Mathematics (5th Edition)
<P> <B> </B> The strong algorithmic emphasis of <I>Discrete Mathematics</I> is independent of a specific programming language, allowing students to concentrate on foundational problem-solving and analytical skills. Instructors get the topical breadth and organizational flexibility to tailor the course to the level and interests of their students.</P> <P> <B> </B>Algorithms are presented in English, eliminating the need for knowledge of a particular programming language. Computational and algorithmic exercise sets follow each chapter section and supplementary exercises and computer projects are included in the end-of-chapter material. This Fifth Edition features a new Chapter 3 covering matrix codes, error correcting codes, congruence, Euclidean algorithm and Diophantine equations, and the RSA algorithm. </P> <P> <B>MARKET</B>: Intended for use in a one-semester introductory course in discrete mathematics.</P>
