Preliminaries; 2. Combinatorial Analysis; 3. Probability; 4. Mathematics of Finance; 5. Graphs and Trees; 6. Directed Graphs; 7. Linear Programming; 8. Sorting and Searching; 9. Statistics; 10. Groups and Permutations; IndexWritten for a broad audience of students in mathematics, computer science, operations research, statistics, and engineering, this textbook presents a short, lively survey of several fascinating non-calculus topics in modern applied mathematics. Coverage includes probability, mathematical finance, graphs, linear programming, statistics, computer science algorithms, and groups. A key feature is the abundance of interesting examples not normally found in standard finite mathematics courses, such as options pricing and arbitrage, tournaments, and counting formulas. The author assumes a level of mathematical sophistication at the beginning calculus level, that is, students should have had at least a course in pre-calculus, and the added sophistication attained from studying calculus would be useful.Topics in Finite & Discrete MathematicsMathematicsMathematics.510Ross Sheldon M.20432UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910783166403321Topics in finite and discrete mathematics378278UNINA
