Perfect condition! Kelly Ronan I used this book for a discrete math course in college. Perfect condition!. Amazon Customer said Good quality and no surprises. Exact book I needed for class. Good quality and no surprises.. "Five Stars" according to Jill Anderson. The price couldn't be beat and the book arrived on time.
As the title indicates, this book is intended for courses aimed at bridging the gap between lower-level mathematics and advanced mathematics. The authors utilize a clear writing style and a wealth of examples to develop an understanding of discrete mathematics and critical thinking skills. The treatment of sequences may be used to introduce epsilon-delta proofs. An instructor's manual with complete solutions to all the problems as well as supplementary material is available to teachers using the book as the text for the class. Surprising results are used to motivate the reader. A student manual with solutions to selected problems is available. The book includes a large number of problems of varying difficulty. The last three chapters address topics such as continued fractions, infinite arithmetic, and the interplay among Fibonacci numbers, Pascal's triangle, and the golden ratio, and may be used for independent reading assignm
