Mathematics plays a key role in computer science, some researchers would consider computers as nothing but the physical embodiment of mathematical systems. And whether you are designing a digital circuit, a computer program or a new programming language, you need mathematics to be able to reason about the design -- its correctness, robustness and dependability. This book covers the foundational mathematics necessary for courses in computer science.
The common approach to presenting mathematical concepts and operators is to define them in terms of properties they satisfy, and then based on these definitions develop ways of computing the result of applying the ... Read more
The book contains chapter and section summaries, detailed proofs and many end-of-section exercises -- key to the learning process. The book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, and although the treatment focuses on areas with frequent applications in computer science, the book is also suitable for students of mathematics and engineering.

Reviews for Mathematics of Discrete Structures for Computer Science
From the reviews: "Pace’s Mathematics of Discrete Structures for Computer Science is a delightful book, written to be read and enjoyed as it moves from justifying the central place of maths in computing, through the usual set theory and logic, on to numbers, types and the halting problem." [Harold Thimbleby, Times Higher Education Supplement, 06/13] “Discrete mathematics is ... Read more
