A spiral workbook for discrete mathematics /
Kwong, Harris
A spiral workbook for discrete mathematics / Harris Kwong - Geneseo, New York : Open SUNY Textbooks, c2015 - viii, 298 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm.
This is a text that covers the standard topics in a sophomore-level course in discrete mathematics: logic, sets, proof techniques, basic number theory, functions, relations, and elementary combinatorics, with an emphasis on motivation. It explains and clarifies the unwritten conventions in mathematics, and guides the students through a detailed discussion on how a proof is revised from its draft to a final polished form. Hands-on exercises help students understand a concept soon after learning it. The text adopts a spiral approach: many topics are revisited multiple times, sometimes from a different perspective or at a higher level of complexity. The goal is to slowly develop students’ problem-solving and writing skills.
