This book supplements the DM for CS Specialization at Coursera and contains many interactive puzzles, autograded quizzes, and code snippets. They are intended to help you to discover important ideas in discrete mathematics on your own. By purchasing the book, you will get all updates of the book free of charge when they are released.

The book supplements the Introduction to Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science specialization at Coursera and contains many interactive puzzles, autograded quizzes, and code snippets. They are intended to help you to discover important ideas in discrete mathematics on your own, and to show you corresponding applications of these ideas in computer science.

The book contains material corresponding to the first two courses in the associated specialization at Coursera: Mathematical Thinking in Computer Science and Combinatorics and Probability. Future editions will cover the additional three courses: Graph Theory, Number Theory and Cryptography, and Delivery Problem.

Throughout the book (and the associated specialization at Coursera) we follow a “try this before we explain everything” approach: we always ask you to solve a problem first, and then we explain how to solve it and introduce important ideas needed to solve it. We believe, this way you will get a deeper understanding and also develop a better appreciation for the beauty of the underlying ideas (not to mention the self-confidence that you get if you invent these ideas on your own!). Don’t be discouraged if you can’t solve all the problems. Just having attempted them is often enough to engage your mind, and make you more curious about the solution.

There are 300+ problems and 150+ code snippets in the book. Most of the problems come with solutions and 130+ of them are graded automatically (allowing you to check your solution immediately). We're constantly working on extending and improving this book.
