Discrete Mathematics courses started a few decades back when computer usage became more and more important. Universities found that the typical math sequences that lead to calculus courses did not suffice to cover the mathematical background required for future computer engineers. So they started teaching topics needed into a course, now called Discrete Mathematics.
It is my pleasure to present the first edition of the book titled ‘Elementary Discrete Mathematics’. The book provides an insight into Mathematical techniques that are significantly useful in science and engineering undergraduate courses; engrossing basic concepts of discrete Mathematics in scientific, research and industrial applications. With this first edition, I have strived to meet the expectations of the students by explaining the text and related theory right from the elementary level. Practicing students and budding scientists will find it pragmatic in application problems. Level of the book has been kept moderately rudimentary and plain sailed to provide its’ readers with lucidity and perceptibility. An exuberant attempt has been made for the students to grasp and comprehend the basic concepts. It is hoped that this book would be determinedly advantageous to the tutees and prove to be serviceable.
