THE VALUE OF THIS BOOK My intention is to make your substantial investment in
this text an excellent value. The book, the associated ancillaries, and companion website have
taken many years of effort to develop and refine. I am confident that most of you will find that
the text and associated materials will help you master discrete mathematics, just as so many
previous students have. Even though it is likely that you will not cover some chapters in your
current course, you should find it helpful—as many other students have—to read the relevant
sections of the book as you take additional courses. Most of you will return to this book as a
useful tool throughout your future studies, especially for those of you who continue in computer
science, mathematics, and engineering. I have designed this book to be a gateway for future
studies and explorations, and to be comprehensive reference, and I wish you luck as you begin
your journey.
