Methods of Finite Mathematics

An introduction to the fundamentals of modern finite mathematics, including discrete methods. Presentation is informal--theorems are explained and made clear by examples, without the burden of many proofs, and procedures and techniques are given precisely, in step-by-step fashion. Text incorporates many mathematical applications to real-world situations, including the managerial and social sciences. Chapters are relatively self-contained, allowing flexibility in course design. Contains a wealth of worked examples, exercises, and review problems. Answers to odd-numbered exercises and to all review problems appear at the back of the book.
