Preface * Properties of Numbers * Sets and Data Structures * Boolean Algebras and Circuits * Relations and Functions * The Theory of Counting * Probability * Graph Theory * Matrices * Number Theory and Cryptography * Bibliography * Answers to Odd Number Exercises * Index

This introduction to discrete mathematics is aimed at freshmen and sophomores in mathematics and computer science. It begins with a survey of number systems and elementary set theory before moving on to treat data structures, counting, probability, relations and functions, graph theory, matrices, number theory and cryptography. The end of each section contains problem sets with selected solutions, and good examples occur throughout the text.
