These themes include mathematical reasoning, combinatorial analysis, discrete structures, algorithmic thinking, and enhanced problem-solving skills through modeling. Its intent is to demonstrate the relevance and practicality of discrete mathematics to all students. The Fifth Edition includes a more thorough and linear presentation of logic, proof types and proof writing, and mathematical reasoning. This enhanced coverage will provide students with a solid understanding of the material as it relates to their immediate field of study and other relevant subjects. The inclusion of applications and examples to key topics has been significantly addressed to add clarity to every subject. <P>True to the Fourth Edition, the text-specific web site supplements the subject matter in meaningful ways, offering additional material for students and instructors. Discrete math is an active subject with new discoveries made every year. The continual growth and updates to the web site reflect the active nature of the topics being discussed. <P>The book is appropriate for a one- or two-term introductory discrete mathematics course to be taken by students in a wide variety of majors, including computer science, mathematics, and engineering. College Algebra is the only explicit prerequisite. 6753960 1988 Student Solutions Guide for Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications total:1|1:1| 1 1 4 0 0 0 false false Mon Oct 06 20:42:05 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 06 20:42:05 -0700 2008 1 0 false false Mon Sep 24 21:12:30 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 24 21:12:30 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Aug 03 20:45:19 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 03 20:45:19 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Jun 22 07:23:53 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 22 07:23:53 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1639043
