Discrete Mathematics by Norman L Biggs
Includes chapters on statements and proof, logical framework, and natural numbers and the integers. This edition also features over 1000 tailored exercises and an accompanying website containing hints and solutions to all exercises. It is suitable for mathematicians and computer scientists seeking a first approach to this topic.
This is a new edition of a successful textbook.. this revision is particularly welcome ... The text is written in a fluent but rigorous style and should appeal to sixthformers and undergraduates who are alienated by more formal presentations. There are plenty of approachable exercises, ranging from easy riders to establish technique to more challenging problems which introduce new ideas, and a bonus is that all the answers are available on a companion web-site. I can thoroughly recommend this text. * The Mathematical Gazette *
A well known definition says that a textbook is a book such that everybody thinks he can write a better one. Biggs' Discrete Mathematics is an exception - not only for its wide range of topics and its clear organization but notably for its excellent style of explanation. * EMS *
... the ideal choice for introductory courses to discrete mathematicians. * Zentralblatt MATH *
