Beschreibung

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.

Chapters are helpfully organized so that, as they escalate in complexity, their underlying connections are easily identifiable. Mathematical logic and proofs are first introduced before moving onto more complex topics in discrete mathematics. Some of these topics include:

Mathematical and structural induction
Set theory
Combinatorics
Functions, relations, and ordered sets
Boolean algebra and Boolean functions
Graph theory

Introduction to Discrete Mathematics via Logic and Proof will suit intermediate undergraduates majoring in mathematics, computer science, engineering, and related subjects with no formal prerequisites beyond a background in secondary mathematics.

Über den Autor

Calvin Jongsma is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Dordt University in Sioux Center, Iowa. His research interests include logic and proof, the history and philosophy of mathematics, foundations of mathematics, and mathematics education.
