Book Overview
This carefully structured text provides a comprehensive, straightforward treatment of discrete mathematics. The author's traditional, deductive approach avoids unnecessary abstraction and covers a wide range of topics, from graph theory and combinatorics to number theory, coding theory and algebraic methods. Abundant examples and exercises help students gain a solid understanding of the subject. The revised edition incorporates changes suggested by instructors already using the text. The new material includes descriptions of algorithms that closely resemble a real programming language for easier implementation by students of both mathematics and computer science.

great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Dr. Biggs' book is an excellent introduction to discrete maths--I used it for the first term and part of the second term of his "Introduction to Pure Maths". The book reads the same as he lectures, which, while sometimes creepy (it's like he's talking to you), is a very good thing. It is very well written and explains everything clearly. He has plenty of worked examples to illustrate how to use what he has taught as well as exercises (w/ answers in the back of the book) for students to work out for themselves.
I have to study it

I like it, but I think there are better ways of teaching Discrete Maths. I can tell you that you discovered me the difference between Calculus and Discrete Maths. That's cool!!
