Did you know that games and puzzles have given birth to many of today's deepest mathematical subjects? Now, with Douglas Ensley and Winston Crawley's Introduction to Discrete Mathematics, you can explore mathematical writing, abstract structures, counting, discrete probability, and graph theory, through games, puzzles, patterns, magic tricks, and real-world problems. You will discover how new mathematical topics can be applied to everyday situations, learn how to work with proofs, and develop your problem-solving skills along the way. Online applications help improve your mathematical reasoning. Highly intriguing, interactive Flash-based applications illustrate key mathematical concepts and help you develop your ability to reason mathematically, solve problems, and work with proofs.

Discrete Mathematics: Mathematical Reasoning and Proof with Puzzles, Patterns, and Games, 1e Student Solutions Manual: Mathematical Reasoning and Proof with Puzzles, Patterns, and Games

These active and well-known authors have come together to create a fresh, innovative, and timely approach to Discrete Math. One innovation uses several major threads to help weave core topics into a cohesive whole. Throughout the book the application of mathematical reasoning is emphasized to solve problems while the authors guide the student in thinking about, reading, and writing proofs in a wide variety of contexts. Another important content thread, as the sub-title implies, is the focus on mathematical puzzles, games and magic tricks to engage students.

Discrete Mathematics: Mathematical Reasoning and Proof with Puzzles, Patterns, and Games, 1e Instructor's Solutions Manual

Based on the ACM guidelines, Discrete Mathematics will help readers master and apply the central topics of discrete math. As they progress through the early chapters, they’ll quickly learn how to think and write about mathematics. The book then explores abstract mathematics, providing a detailed look at sets and functions. Readers will also find in-depth discussions on probabilities and their applications to games of chance. And they’ll discover the basic techniques of graph theory and how to apply them using puzzles and games.
