    Theory Of Computation

Presents a gentle introduction to all the basics of discrete mathematics.

Introduces sets and logic, providing clear instructions on calculating values for mathematical expressions for small finite sets. For simplicity, uses sets of numbers extensively -- but also covers non-numerical examples. Introduces relations and functions, and then discusses how they can be modeled using sets. Shows how modeling with sets and logic can be applied to practical problems. Includes a running case study, worked examples and self-test questions.



A complete, concise, gentle introduction to discrete mathematics.

• Introduces sets, propositional logic and predicate logic.

• Discusses relations, including homogenous relations.

• Introduces mathematical models.
