Synopsis

Using a traditional deductive approach, this book looks into the fundamental ideas in discrete mathematics, including graph theory, combinatorics, number theory, coding theory, combinatorial optimization and abstract algebra. It can be approached by anyone with basic competence in arithmetic and experience of simple algebraic manipulations and students of computer science whose curriculum may now allow the study of many ancillary mathematics courses. The main changes to this new edition are to present descriptions of numerous algorithms on a form close to that of a real programming language. The aim is to enable students to develop practical programs from the design of algorithms.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Biggs' Discrete Mathematics has been a best-selling textbook since the first and revised editions were published in 1986 and 1990, respectively. This second edition has been developed in response to undergraduate course changes and changes in students' needs. New to this edition are chapters on statements and proof, logical framework, and natural numbers and the integers, in addition to updated chapters from the previous edition. The new chapters are presented at a level suitable for mathematics and computer science students seeking a first approach to this broad and highly relevant topic. Each chapter contains newly developed tailored exercises, and miscellaneous exercises are presented throughout, providing the student with over 1000 individual tailored exercises. This edition is accompanied by a website www.oup.com/mathematics/discretemath containing hints and solutions to all exercises presented in the text, providing an invaluable resource for students and lecturers alike. The book is carefully structured, coherent and comprehensive, and is the ideal text for students seeking a clear introduction to discrete mathematics, graph theory, combinatorics, number theory, coding theory and abstract algebra.

Revue de presse

A well known definition says that a textbook is a book such that everybody thinks he can write a better one. Biggs' Discrete Mathematics is an exception - not only for its wide range of topics and its clear organization but notably for its excellent style of explanation. (EMS)
