The Companion Website

he extensive companion website accompanying this text has been substantially enhanced
Tfor the seventh edition This website is accessible at www.mhhe.com/rosen. The homepage
shows the Information Center, and contains login links for the site’s Student Site and Instructor
Site. Key features of each area are described below:

THE INFORMATION CENTER

The Information Center contains basic information about the book including the expanded
table of contents (including subsection heads), the preface, descriptions of the ancillaries, and
a sample chapter. It also provides a link that can be used to submit errata reports and other
feedback about the book.

STUDENT SITE

The Student site contains a wealth of resources available for student use, including the
following, tied into the text wherever the special icons displayed below are found in the text:

Extra Examples You can find a large number of additional examples on the site, covering
all chapters of the book. These examples are concentrated in areas where students often
ask for additional material. Although most of these examples amplify the basic concepts,
more-challenging examples can also be found here.
Interactive Demonstration Applets These applets enable you to interactively explore
how important algorithms work, and are tied directly to material in the text with linkages to
examples and exercises. Additional resources are provided on how to use and apply these
applets.
Self Assessments These interactive guides help you assess your understanding of 14 key
concepts, providing a question bank where each question includes a brief tutorial followed
by a multiple-choice question. If you select an incorrect answer, advice is provided to help
you understand your error. Using these Self Assessments, you should be able to diagnose
your problems and find appropriate help.
WebResourcesGuide Thisguideprovidesannotatedlinkstohundredsofexternalwebsites
containing relevant material such as historical and biographical information, puzzles and
problems, discussions, applets, programs, and more. These links are keyed to the text by page
number.

Additional resources in the Student site include:
Exploring Discrete Mathematics This ancillary provides help for using a computer alge-
bra system to do a wide range of computations in discrete mathematics. Each chapter provides
a description of relevant functions in the computer algebra system and how they are used, pro-
grams to carry out computations in discrete mathematics, examples, and exercises that can be
worked using this computer algebra system. Two versions, Exploring Discrete Mathematics
with Maple TM and Exploring Discrete Mathematics with Mathematica TM will be available.
Applications of Discrete Mathematics This ancillary contains 24 chapters—each with
its own set of exercises—presenting a wide variety of interesting and important applications
