This work aims to tie together discrete topics with a theme. It covers areas such as fundamentals, logic, counting, relations and digraphs, trees, topics in graph theory, languages and finite-state machines, and groups and coding.
For one/two-term, freshman/sophomore-level courses in Discrete Mathematics.

More than any other book in the field, this text ties together discrete topics with a theme. Written at an appropriate level of rigor—with a strong pedagogical focus—it limits depth of coverage and areas covered to topics of genuine use in computer science. An emphasis on both basic theory and applications provides students with a firm foundation for more advanced courses.
