Summary

This text covers all the traditional topics of discrete mathematics — logic, sets, relations, functions, and graphs — and reflects recent trends in computer science.

gives a more thorough exposure to logic reasoning than most other texts.
shows how to use discrete mathematics and logic for specifying new computer applications, and how to reason about programs in a systematic way.
contain chapters on language and grammars, and relational database.
describes Prolog, a programming language based on logic, and a section on Miranda, language based on functions.
features numerous examples which relate the mathematical concepts to problems in computer science.

1. Propositional Calculus.
