Concise Computer Mathematics : Tutorials on Theory and Problems

Adapted from a modular undergraduate course on computational mathematics, Concise Computer Mathematics delivers an easily accessible, self-contained introduction to the basic notions of mathematics necessary for a computer science degree.The text reflects the need to quickly introduce students from a variety of educational backgrounds to a number of essential mathematical concepts.The material is divided into four units: discrete mathematics (sets, relations, functions), logic (Boolean types, truth tables, proofs), linear algebra (vectors, matrices and graphics), and special topics (graph theory, number theory, basic elements of calculus).The chapters contain a brief theoretical presentation of the topic, followed by a selection of problems (which are direct applications of the theory) and additional supplementary problems (which may require a bit more work).Each chapter ends with answers or worked solutions for all of the problems.
