Written for the one-term course, Essentials of Discrete Mathematics, Fourth Edition is designed to serve computer science and mathematics majors, as well as students from a wide range of disciplines. The mathematical material is organized around five types of thinking: logical, relational, recursive, quantitative, and analytical. This presentation results in a coherent outline that steadily builds upon mathematical sophistication. The final chapter, "Thinking Through Applications", emphasizes the multidisciplinary approach of the text and contains case studies that integrate the fields of biology, sociology, linguistics, economics, and music.
