Reviews

There is now a wide agreement that mathematics for computer scientists is not calculus and numerical analysis but discrete mathematics. According to this idea this book is a lovely text for undergraduate students, useful also at freshman-sophomore level. Zentralblatt f^D ur Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete Discrete Mathematics for New Technology is a nice introduction to logic, sets and algebraic structures. New Scientist The book has a number of noteworthy features which make it a text to be considered seriously by those who wish to teach a course in this area. The material is carefully written and clearly presented in a user-friendly way which makes it a pleasure to read. There is a wealth of well-judged examples, with frequent historical notes to provide background and cartoons to lighten the style.
