The applications described include simulations  genetic algorithms  network flows  probabilistic primality tests  public key cryptography  and coding theory. A modern and comprehensive introduction to discrete structures With clear definitions and theorems and carefully explained proofs  this classroom-tested text presents an accessible yet rigorous treatment of the material. Numerous worked-out examples illustrate key points while figures and tables help students grasp the more subtle and difficult concepts. \"Exercises for the Reader\" are interspersed throughout the text  with complete solutions included in an appendix. In addition to these  each section ends with extensive  carefully crafted exercise sets ranging from routine to nontrivial; answers can be found in another appendix. Most sections also contain computer exercises that guide students through the process of writing their own programs on any computing platform. Accommodates various levels of computer implementation Although the book highly encourages the use of computing platforms  it can be used without computers. The author explains algorithms in ordinary English and  when appropriate  in a natural and easy-to-understand pseudo code that can be readily translated into any computer language. A supporting website provides an extensive set of sample programs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960523251765,"sku":"ByrdShop_1439817685","price":194.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781439817681.jpg?v=1788289729","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/discrete-structures-with-contemporary-applications-9781439817681","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
