The fundamentals of modern finite mathematics, including discrete methods, are introduced in this book. The presentation is informal - theorems are explained, and made clear by example - without the burden of many proofs. Procedures and techniques are given precisely, in step-by-step fashion, and the text incorporates many mathematical applications to real-world situations, including the managerial and social sciences. Chapters are relatively self-contained, allowing flexibility in course design. The text contains a wealth of worked examples, exercises, and review problems, with answers to odd-numbered exercises and to all review problems appearing at the back of the book.
