This book is suitable for use as a textbook for topics in Discrete Mathematics covered in the first and second years of B.Sc. (Math), B.E. (Computer Science), and M.C.A. Usually, textbooks on niche domains in Computer Science provide a brief exposure to many of the applicable elementary concepts in Mathematics. Many subjects such as Algorithms and Cryptography, nevertheless, demand a little more in understanding of basic concepts in mathematical sciences. This book, we believe, can fulfill such a requirement.
The book is organized into six chapters, one each on Logic, Functions & Relations; Combinatorics; Basic Group Theory; Graph Theory; and Finite Automata (traditionally, this belongs to theory of computing), and Discrete Probability Theory. The concepts introduced in this book will help students in problem-solving and applying the concepts learnt to other areas of Computer Science.
1. Logic, Sets, Relations, and Functions
2. Combinatorics
3. Group Theory
4. Graph Theory
5. Finite Automata
6. Discrete Probability Theory
Appendix A: Algorithms – Getting Started
Appendix B: Representative Problems and Solutions
