An Introduction to Discrete Mathematics

Build a Foundation for Your Career in IT. Master the math powering our lives and prepare for your software engineer or security analyst career.

The "Accessible Introduction to Discrete Mathematics: History, Theory, Logic, and Applications Guide" provides a comprehensive and approachable exploration of the key aspects of discrete mathematics. Tailored for students, educators, and enthusiasts, the book covers essential topics such as theorem proving, propositional logic, and formal methods.

This textbook introduces discrete mathematics by emphasizing the importance of reading and writing proofs. Because it begins by carefully establishing a familiarity with mathematical logic and proof, this approach suits not only a discrete mathematics course, but can also function as a transition to proof. Its unique, deductive perspective on mathematical logic provides students with the tools to more deeply understand mathematical methodology—an approach that the author has successfully classroom tested for decades.
