DISCRETE MATHEMATICAL STRUCTURES WITH APPLICATIONS TO COMPUTER SCIENCE

The trend is to select several topics in mathematics that are essential to the study of many computer science areas and to expose the students to the mathematical Prerequisites in some other way. A similar development has oaaured in most engineering curricula. The selection of the topics was governed by our desire to introduce most of the basic terminology used in as many advanced courses in computer science as possible. In order to motivate the students properly, we feel that it is important to consider certain application as the terminology is introduced. There are several advantages in using this approach.
