Overview: Written in a clear and informal style aimed especially at students with a limited background in mathematics, this introduction to discrete mathematics presents the material that forms the essential mathematical background for studies in computing and information systems. The topics covered include number systems, logic, relations, functions, induction, recursion, Boolean algebra, combinatorics, graph theory and number theory. The text contains many examples of applications of the theory to problems in computing, including a chapter on the representation and manipulation of numbers in
