Discrete mathematics is not to be confused with discreet mathematics (we don't usually talk about such...), but is instead a way to measure a discrete (that is, not continuous) event using various mathematical properties. Likewise, combinatorics is just a fancy-schmancy way of saying "counting." Of course, it's counting with style, where "style" here means neat mathematical tricks.
The book covers several topics ranging from an introduction to the main topics, to more advanced topics, such as graph theory and self-correcting codes. If you're like me, with an uncanny fascination for mathematics, you too would get enjoyment from reading this book and working on the exercises (fun fact: Grimaldi himself worked through each problem in the book, as opposed to having a teacher's aide do it, in order to generate the answer key). This book requires a strong understanding of mathematics and logic, perhaps at least an understanding of pre-calculus.
I'm sure I've said this before (but sometimes, I must repeat those things I find particularly witty), but the more advanced mathematics you learn, the less you deal with actual numbers. This book is yet another stepping stone to a world of mathematics devoid completely of those pesky numbers that only weigh you down.
I recommend this book for mathematicians and computer scientists alike. It's sure to be helpful to either profession.… (plus d'informations)
