The ability to write a cohesive, well thought out paper is necessary to succeed in any subject, whether the subject is in the physical sciences, math, or the liberal arts. Anyone who hopes to do well at school, at college, at work, or professionally, must master writing skills and techniques.Other guides for writing do not clearly present which steps to complete, and in what order these steps should be tackled. Often these guides are filled with confusing directions and terminology, contain much extraneous material, and do not present the essential points that are of interest to students. REA’s books are easy-to-understand tools for writing any kind of paper.A concise and easy-to-understand guide to writing a term paper that is presented in a manner which can be applied to any term paper assignment. Designed to take a student through every step of writing a term paper, from deciding on a topic to submitting the final product. Includes examples of a title page, table of contents, outline, bibliography, appendix, footnotes, page dimensions, and indexes.
This book introduces readers to the mathematics of computer science and prepares them for the math they will encounter in other college courses. It includes applications that are specific to computer science, helps learners to develop reasoning skills, and provides the fundamental mathematics necessary for computer scientists. Chapter topics include sets, functions and relations, Boolean algebra, natural numbers and induction, number theory, recursion, solving recurrences, counting, matrices, and graphs. For computer scientists and the enhancement of programming skills.PIf you are an instructor, why should you choose this textbook for your students? If you are a student, why should you read this text? The material included in this text provides an introduction to discrete mathematics and is intended for first year students so that their later courses in mathematics and/or computer science can be covered in more depth than they could be without this foundational background. The text is not intended to be a comprehensive collection of discrete mathematics topics, but rather it ties selected topics to concepts in computer science and it includes programming problems along with written exercises. Unlike the large, comprehensive texts, this one can be covered in a semester. For computer science students, there are programming exercises. For math students without an interest in programming, there are plenty of exercises of different levels to challenge them./PPThis text evolved over a 10-year period from notes for our second semester freshman course for computer science students. This course has included about two-thirds mathematics and about one-third programming. Our students have found immediate benefits in their next course, Data Structures and Algorithms Analysis, as well as all other upper level courses. You will find the style focused on the chosen topics; we make no attempt at a complete coverage of those concepts. We chose the topics with two goals in mi@
