Discrete Mathematics: Numbers and Beyond supplies the reader with a thorough grounding in number systems, modular arithmetic, combinatorics, networks and graphs, coding theory and recurrence relations. Throughout the book, learning is aided and reinforced by the following features:

  • a wealth of exercises and problems of varying difficulty
  • a wide range of illustrative applications of general interest
  • numerous worked examples and diagrams
  • team-based student projects in every chapter
  • concise, informal explanations
  • tips for further reading

    Discrete Mathematics: Numbers and Beyond is an ideal textbook for an introductory discrete mathematics course taken by students of economics, computer science, mathematics, business, finance, engineering and the sciences.
