Overview
What sort of mathematics do I need for computer science? In response, a pair of professors at the University of California at San Diego created this text. Explores Boolean functions and computer arithmetic; logic; number theory and cryptography; sets and functions; equivalence and order; and induction, sequences, and series. Assumes some familiarity with calculus. Original 2005 edition.Synopsis
This undergraduate-level describes the mathematics most needed in computer science. Bender and Williamson (both mathematics, U. of California, San Diego) cover Boolean functions and computer arithmetic, logic, number theory and cryptography, sets and functions, equivalence and order, and induction, sequences and series, all in discrete units with multiple choice questions for review. They include solutions to exercises and notational and subject indices. Readers should have some familiarity with calculus. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
