Discrete Mathematical Structures - Hardcover

by Jonas Hughes (Editor)

Discrete mathematics refers to the study of mathematical structures which are discrete and not continuous. Logic statements, integers and graphs are some of the objects examined in discrete mathematics. It is concerned with the investigation of countable sets, which might be finite or infinite. Various topics covered under discrete mathematics include set theory, graph theory, combinations, logic, information theory, probability, geometry and algebraic structures. The notations and concepts of discrete mathematics are beneficial in analyzing and expressing objects and issues in the field of computer science, including programming languages, automated theorem proving, computer algorithms, software development and cryptography. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of discrete mathematical structures. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
