Matemáticas Discretas Con Aplicaciones - 4ª Edición - Tapa blanda

Matematicas discretas con aplicaciones de Susanna Epp, cuarta edicion, ofrece una introduccion clara a la matematica discreta. Celebre por su prosa lucida, accesible, Epp explica conceptos complejos y abstractos con claridad y precision.Este libro presenta no solo los temas principales de la matematica discreta, sino tambien el razonamiento que subyace el pensamiento matematico.Los estudiantes desarrollan la capacidad de pensar en forma abstracta del mismo modo como ellos estudian las ideas de la logica y la demostracion. Mientras se aprende acerca de conceptos tales como circuitos logicos y adicion de equipo, analisis de algoritmos, pensamiento recursivo, computabilidad, automatas, criptografia y combinatoria, los estudiantes descubren que las ideas de la matematica discreta subyacen y son esenciales para la ciencia y la tecnologia de la era de las computadoras.En general, Epp hace enfasis en el razonamiento y proporciona a los alumnos una base solida para Ciencias de la computacion y cursos de matematicas de nivel superior.

Susanna S. Epp received her Ph.D. in 1968 from the University of Chicago, taught briefly at Boston University and the University of Illinois at Chicago, and is currently Vincent DePaul Professor Emerita of Mathematical Sciences at DePaul University. After initial research in commutative algebra, she became interested in cognitive issues associated with teaching analytical thinking and proof and published a number of articles related to this topic, one of which was chosen for inclusion in The Best Writing on Mathematics 2012. She has spoken widely on discrete mathematics and organized sessions at national meetings on discrete mathematics instruction. In addition to Discrete Mathematics with Applications and Discrete Mathematics: An Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning, she is co-author of Precalculus and Discrete Mathematics, which was developed as part of the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project. The third edition of Discrete Mathematics with Applications received a Texty Award for Textbook Excellence in June 2005. Epp co-organized an international symposium on teaching logical reasoning, sponsored by the Institute for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS), and she was an associate editor of Mathematics Magazine from 1991 to 2001. Long active in the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), she is a co-author of the curricular guidelines for undergraduate mathematics programs: CUPM Curriculum Guide 2004. She received the Hay Award for Contributions to Mathematics Education in 2005 and the Award for Distinguished Teaching given by the Illinois Section of the MAA in 2010.
