This third edition brings improved exposition, a new section on trees, and a bunch of new and improved exercises. It is open source, with low cost print editions and free electronic editions.
It is written to be used in a course for future math teachers. While there are many fine discrete math textbooks available, this text has the following advantages: It is written to be used in an inquiry rich course. There are also Investigate! activities throughout the text to support active, inquiry based learning. The book contains over 470 exercises, including 275 with solutions and over 100 with hints. Along the way proofs are introduced, including proofs by contradiction, proofs by induction, and combinatorial proofs. Four main topics are covered: counting, sequences, logic, and graph theory. The course is usually taught with a large amount of student inquiry, and this text is written to help facilitate this. This course serves both as an introduction to topics in discrete math and as the "introduction to proof" course for math majors. The text began as a set of lecture notes for the discrete mathematics course at the University of Northern Colorado. If you need the 2nd edition for a course you are taking, it can be found as a "other format" on amazon, or by searching its isbn: 1534970746 This gentle introduction to discrete mathematics is written for first and second year math majors, especially those who intend to teach.
