A Spiral Workbook for Discrete Mathematics

A Spiral Workbook For Discrete Mathematics Covers The Standard Topics In A Sophomore-level Course In Discrete Mathematics: Logic, Sets, Proof Techniques, Basic Number Theory, Functions,relations, And Elementary Combinatorics, With An Emphasis On Motivation. The Text Explains And Claries The Unwritten Conventions In Mathematics, And Guides The Students Through A Detailed Discussion On How A Proof Is Revised From Its Draft To A Nal Polished Form. Hands-on Exercises Help Students Understand A Concept Soon After Learning It. The Text Adopts A Spiral Approach: Many Topics Are Revisited Multiple Times, Sometimes From A Dierent Perspective Or At A Higher Level Of Complexity, In Order To Slowly Develop The Student's Problem-solving And Writing Skills.
