Introduces students to ideas and techniques from discrete mathematics that are widely used in science and engineering. Mathematical definitions and proofs are emphasized. Topics include formal logic ...

Discrete mathematics is about precision in reasoning as much as it is about solving problems. Proof techniques like induction, contradiction, and direct reasoning are used to establish results in ...

A leading mathematics journal has finally accepted that one of the longest-standing problems in the field -- the most efficient way to pack oranges -- has been conclusively solved. That is, if you ...
