Discrete Mathematics for Data Science

Discrete Mathematics for Data Science provides an early course in both Data Science and Discrete Mathematics, focusing on how a deeper understanding of the former can unlock a more effective implementation of the latter.Students of Data Science come from a variety of disciplines, with Business, Statistics, Computer Science, Economics, and Psychology among the departments offering courses on the subject.Therefore, for many students, Data Science is considered a means of insight into a particular field of interest, with the study of its underlying discrete mathematics not a primary objective. This book covers the topics of Discrete Mathematical Structures relevant to students of Data Science, offering a relevant and gentle introduction to both the theoretical and practical elements required to be a successful data scientist.The relaxed, accessible style makes it a perfect textbook for undergraduates.
