Discrete mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deals with objects that can only take on a finite number of values. This includes things like integers, sets, and graphs. Discrete mathematics is used in a wide variety of applications, including computer science, operations research, and finance.

Essentials of Discrete Mathematics is divided into 10 chapters. The first chapter provides an to discrete mathematics. The second chapter covers sets. The third chapter covers functions. The fourth chapter covers relations. The fifth chapter covers graphs. The sixth chapter covers trees. The seventh chapter covers Boolean algebra. The eighth chapter covers counting. The ninth chapter covers probability. The tenth chapter covers applications of discrete mathematics.

Each chapter is divided into several sections. Each section covers a specific topic in discrete mathematics. The sections are well-organized and easy to follow. The book also includes a number of exercises and problems. The exercises and problems are a great way to test your understanding of the material.
