Discrete Mathematics is designed to serve as a textbook for a single-semester course on Discrete Mathematics for undergraduate students of Anna University, Coimbatore and Tiruchirapalli. Primarily meant for undergraduate students of engineering in computer science (CS) and information technology (IT), this book will also prove useful to students of BSc (CS and IT) and to postgraduate students enrolled in programmes such as MCA, ME (CS), and MSc (CS and IT).
Beginning with a lucid introduction to propositional calculus and predicate calculus, the book goes on to cover several important topics such as set theory, relations, lattices and Boolean algebra, functions, groups, and coding theory. These chapters discuss various crucial concepts such as statements and notations, normal forms, nested quantifiers, set theory, minsets and maxsets, Cartesian products, partial ordering, types of functions, semigroups and monoids, normal subgroup, quotient group, encoders and decoders, coset decoding, and many more.
Written in an easy-to-understand manner, the book includes a large number of solved examples which illustrate problem-solving methodology. It contains an extensive set of exercises showing a good gradation of difficulty levels to test the students� understanding of the concepts discussed. A summary at the end of each chapter reviews the key concepts discussed.
