Preface Preface
This text is meant to provide the basics for a Discrete Math course which emphasizes mathematical reasoning and an introduction to proof writing. Each section includes activities to help the students master the definitions and techniques.
Course Goals.
To introduce the student to the basic discrete mathematical structures and the theory and techniques associated with these structures.
To continue the student’s growth in the use of mathematical language and the use of logic.
To improve the student’s ability to write precise, valid, mathematical arguments.
To increase the student’s confidence in working through mathematical challenges.
To continue the growth of the student’s abilities in the appreciation and use of abstract reasoning.
To improve the student’s problem-solving abilities.
To increase the student’s mathematical maturity.
