The book supplements the Introduction to Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science specialization at Coursera and contains many interactive puzzles, automatically graded quizzes, and code snippets. They are intended to help you to discover important ideas in discrete mathematics on your own, and to show you corresponding applications of these ideas in computer science.

This book contains material corresponding to three courses in the associated specialization at Coursera: Mathematical Thinking in Computer Science, Combinatorics and Probability, and Number Theory and Cryptography. Future editions will cover the remaining two courses: Graph Theory and Delivery Problem.

This book was last updated on April 11, 2023. There are 374 problems and 191 code snippets in the book. Most of the problems come with solutions, and 165 of them are graded automatically (allowing you to get instant feedback). We’re constantly working on extending and improving the book. Please ask questions, report typos, and suggest improvements through this form.
