The view of discrete mathematics has evolved from a course in pure mathematics to a preparatory course for programming-related topics. There is an emphasis on explaining concepts using intuitive terms, to look at mathematical statements visually, to reach audiences with varied learning abilities, and to encourage programming at a younger age. This book offers analysis of problems, many solutions, and techniques that are difficult to find in a single traditional textbook. The chapter on GEMS will captivate you - gold nuggets!Richard and Dean have a specific vision for this book, providing the use of graphics and programming in mathematical problem-solving. This is not a replacement for a traditional textbook but serves as a useful supplement to any mathematics course. Who could use this book?-Undergraduates-Pre-service teachers and in-service teachers-Computer science faculty-Discrete mathematics instructors-Instructors of mathematics applications courses-Amateur mathematiciansPrimary features include: -Easy and fun to read - take it to the beach!-Demonstrating proofs in an intuitive way -Involving graphics, visuals, and varied solutions-Problems explained and solved using Python programming-Viewing problems and solutions from dual perspectives-Independent of topics chosen
