Discrete Mathematics for Computer Scientists provides computer science students the foundation they need in discrete mathematics. It gives thorough coverage to topics that have great importance to computer scientists and provides a motivating computer science example for each math topic, helping answer the age-old question, "Why do we have to learn this?" Suitable for either lecture-only or fully-interactive, collaborative course environments Intended for students who have completed, or are simultaneously studying, data structures (CS2) Written by leading academics in the field of computer science.
