My purpose in developing this book was to provide a clear, accessible treatment of the essential aspects of discrete mathematics with a special focus on introducing studentsto mathematical proof. The bookis based on the fourth edition of my Discrete Mathematics with applications, which has been used successfully by students at hundreds of institutions in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. -- Preface
