An ever-increasing percentage of mathematic applications involve discrete rather than continuous models. Driving this trend is the integration of the computer into virtually every aspect of modern society. Intended for a one-semester introductory course, the strong algorithmic emphasis of Discrete Mathematics is independent of a specific programming language, allowing students to concentrate on foundational problem-solving and analytical skills. Instructors get the topical breadth and organisational flexibility to tailor the course to the level and interests of their students.
