DESCRIPTION:
…The level of difficulty makes this book suitable for undergraduate and beginning graduate students of mathematics and computer science."IACR Book Reviews, September 2014"…this is the most physically readable textbook that I have seen in a long time. 2014"… this textbook is excellent. The author clearly had put a lot of effort in presenting the topics clearly and as engaging as possible. His many years of teaching and mentoring clearly showInstructors who teach courses in discrete structures can find plenty of quality exercises readily usable for homeworks, tutorial discussions and exam material. Quite a number of them can be used as projects for further exploration by the students, either in groups or individually.I heartily recommend this textbook and have been using it both in preparing teaching materials and in educating myself.--IACR Bo

NOT easy reading - SOLID overview Michael Reeves I am over one third through a first reading of this text. I have a general methodology for reading texts or reference texts. First, a quick read through. Next a read through with note taking. Lastly, a final read through with additional note taking and working of e
A modern and comprehensive introduction to discrete structuresWith clear definitions and theorems and carefully explained proofs, this classroom-tested text presents an accessible yet rigorous treatment of the material. Numerous worked-out examples illustrate key points while figures and tables help students grasp the more subtle and difficult concepts. The applications described include simulations, genetic algorithms, network flows, probabilistic primality tests, public key cryptography, and coding theory. Reflecting many of the recent advances and trends in this area, Discrete Structures with Contemporary Applications covers the core topics in discrete structures as well as an assortment of novel applications-oriented topics. The author explains algorithms in ordinary English and, when appropriate, in a natural and easy-to-understand pseudo code that can be readily translated into any computer language. "Exercises for the Reader" are interspersed throughout the text, with complete solutions included in an appendix. Accommodates various levels of computer implementationAlthough the book highl
