Discrete Mathematical Structures with Applications to Combinatorics

Meant to serve as an introduction to discrete mathematical structures, this book covers the topics taught in a one-semester course at the undergraduate level. Students of BE computer science, information science and other engineering branches as well as students of MCA programme will find the book useful. The few chapters included on combinatorics will bring home the practical utility of the various concepts introduced in the book and enable appreciation of the myriad applications that apparently simple concepts such as relations, functions and the pigeon-hole principle have.
