Synopsis

Discrete Mathematics: A Gateway to the Mathematical Garden is an introduction to finite and discrete mathematics. This book includes all the important and foundational mathematics to support the student learning finite mathematics for the first time: logic, set theory, number theory, proofs, combinatorics, and graph theory. The exposition helps the student-reader learn to think logically and reasonably about mathematical structures. Discussions of cryptology, computer science, machine-readable codes, and operations research are used to give the student a sense of how the mathematics is applied. Throughout the book, examples illustrate the material and provide insight into the mathematical theory. The book is essentially self-contained. There are very few prerequistes aside from some mathematical maturity and familiarity with algebra. Problems to help the student master the concepts are included at the end of each section. Each chapter concludes with a set of supplementary problems and a set of sample test questions.
