Description
Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science introduces students to the discrete mathematics needed for their Computer Science coursework. This textbook interleaves theory of computation topics with mathematical concepts, allowing students to apply theoretical ideas to practical problems. The book covers fundamental topics such as sets and strings, and progresses to more advanced areas like the undecidability of the halting problem. It also includes appendix chapters on combinatorics, probability, and other relevant subjects. With over 250 worked examples and 550 exercises, this class-tested textbook is designed to help students develop a strong foundation in discrete mathematics. Suitable for intermediate Computer Science majors and introductory theory of computation courses, Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science aims to breed curiosity into the subject and prepare readers for deeper study of game theory applications.
