It is useful for freshman/sophomore one-semester introductory courses in discrete math.
For freshman/sophomore one semester introductory courses in discrete math designated for computer science students. Introduces students to the mathematics of computer science and prepares them for the math they will encounter in later courses. Includes applications that are specific to computer science. This text helps students to develop reasoning skills as well as providing them the fundamental mathematics necessary for computer scientists. *Topics have been chosen with CS in mind, both with regard to mathematical concepts and their applicability to CS. Allows students to see immediate CS applications of what they are learning and professors find this situation highly motivational for students. *Exercises, including programming assignments that promote immediate use of the topics. Students gain a deeper understanding of the mathematics when they need to design programs that implement the concepts. Professor can help students enhance their programming skills using exercises that have both conceptual and practical components. *Exercises progress from very easy to difficult. Students can start with easy problems to build their confidence and their understanding and then move on to more challenging exercises which build their problem solving abilities. *'Reader Checks' throughout the text - These are short questions that students should stop and answer to be sure that they are ready to continue. Encourages students to read carefully and to reread materials they have not understood before continuing and provides instructors with topics for discussion in the classroom. *Brevity - The text can be covered in a semester. Students are not intimidated by level or volume of topics. *The text promotes not just the learning of material, but the acquisition of skills necessary for reading mathematics. Students gain better reading and programming skills because they will learn to reason about what they are reading and to reason about the algorithms they are designing.
