  A primer on quantum computing
de Lima Marquezino F., Portugal R., Lavor C., Springer International Publishing, New York, NY, 2019. 109 pp.  Type: Book (978-3-030190-65-1)

This simple yet practical first contact with quantum computing is well written, easy to read, and well structured. The authors state from the very beginning that they cannot cover all relevant topics of quantum computing, so instead th...

  A journey through discrete mathematics: a tribute to Jiří Matoušek
Loebl M., Nešetřil J., Thomas R., Springer International Publishing, New York, NY, 2017. 810 pp.  Type: Book (978-3-319444-78-9)

Professor Jiří Matoušek was a distinguished scientist with significant achievements in the areas of discrete and “computational geometry, topology, and some aspects of metric space theory.”...

   Twenty lectures on algorithmic game theory
Roughgarden T., Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 2016. 352 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-316624-79-1)

I often find myself deliberately avoiding books that are based on university courses. In my experience, such books tend to feel rushed and thrown together rather than carefully planned out. So it was with some trepidation that I sat do...

  Guide to discrete mathematics: an accessible introduction to the history, theory, logic and applications
O’Regan G., Springer International Publishing, New York, NY, 2016. 368 pp.  Type: Book (978-3-319445-60-1)

A book on discrete mathematics written by a software engineer certainly raises curiosity and interest because looking at math with the eye of a computer specialist allows the reader to see many of the infinite bridges connecting comput...

  The new group theory package in Maple 17
Postma E. ACM Communications in Computer Algebra 47(3/4): 174-178, 2013.  Type: Article

Computer algebra systems are generally divided [1] into those that treat groups, or other mathematical structures, such as GAP, Cayley, and Magma, and those that treat polynomials and objects built from polynomials, such as Macsyma and...

  Mathematics in computing: an accessible guide to historical, foundational and application contexts
O’Regan G., Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2013. 304 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-447145-33-2)

The ambitious title of this book suggests a potentially wide scope. The back cover claims that the book intends to “demonstrate the practical computing applications behind seemingly abstract ideas.” With such a long...

  Fundamentals of discrete math for computer science: a problem-solving primer
Jenkyns T., Stephenson B., Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2012. 423 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-447140-68-9)

Most professional computer scientists understand that to be successful in our discipline, students need to learn discrete math. As a result of this understanding, discrete math is a required part of most computer science (CS) curricula...

  A beginner’s guide to discrete mathematics (2nd ed.)
Wallis W., Birkhäuser Basel, New York, NY, 2011. 440 pp.  Type: Book (978-0-817682-85-9)

From the title, the reader can guess the elementary level of this textbook on discrete mathematics. However, two important features distinguish this particular text from the sea of other introductory textbooks....

  Discrete mathematics
Chakraborty S., Sarkar B., Oxford University Press, Inc., New York, NY, 2011. 552 pp.  Type: Book (978-0-198065-43-2)

The authors have given themselves a difficult task: write a new discrete mathematics textbook, including such topics as abstract algebra and linear algebra. This could be a welcome addition to the current crop of texts. Unfortunately, ...

  Discrete mathematics: proofs, structures, and applications
Garnier R., Taylor J., CRC Press, Inc., Boca Raton, FL, 2010. 843 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-439812-80-8), Reviews: (2 of 2)

One distinguishing feature of all editions of this book is the highly effective linearity of its presentation of topics that lie at the base of discrete mathematics. And within this well-chosen order, the presentations are rigorous, we...
