Reading List
- A. D. Ker, Discrete Mathematics Lecture Notes, 2007.
Comprehensive, book-style, notes (not repackaged overheads). Available
in weekly installments during lectures, and online at the end of the
corresponding week.
Primary Text
- K. A. Ross and C. R. B. Wright, Discrete Mathematics (Fifth
Edition), Prentice Hall, 2003
This book has much to commend it, including an enormous number of
examples and exercises and a computer science oriented exposition. It
is pitched at a somewhat easy level, suitable for supplementing
the lecture notes. It is rather expensive (about £50) but there are many
copies in Oxford libraries.
Alternative Texts
- A. Chetwynd and P. Diggle, Discrete Mathematics, Arnold, 1995.
Very basic, but easy to read. Only covers the first half of the
course. Cheap.
- R. P. Grimaldi, Discrete And Combinatorial Mathematics (Third Edition),
Addison Wesley, 1994.
Some of the book is rather advanced, but also covers the basics quite
well. Has many good practice questions (some difficult).
