An Introduction to Discrete Mathematics

Intended for a one-term course in discrete mathematics, to prepare freshmen and sophomores for further work in computer science as well as mathematics. Sets, proof techniques, logic, combinatorics, and graph theory are covered in concise form. All topics are motivated by concrete examples, often emphasizing the interplay between computer science and mathematics. Examples also illustrate all definitions. Applications and references cover a wide variety of realistic situations. Coverage of mathematical induction includes the stroung form of induction, and new sections have been added on nonhomogeneous recurrence relations and the essentials of probability.

An Ecological Perspective on Human Communication Theory

AN ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON HUMAN COMMUNICATION THEORY introduces communication students to both research and theory at an undergraduate level and avoids extensive discussion of philosophical and epistemological issues. The ecological/interdisciplinary approach synthesizes information from diverse fields, including anthropology, biology, linguistics, psychology, and sociology. A student manual at the back of the book includes activities, discussion questions, recommended readings, and videos.

This unit is devoted to explaining the ecology of communication, the evolutionary
prehistory of communication, the history of communication technologies, and the
history of the study of communication processes and patterns. In Chapters 1 and
2 our concern is with placing communication within ecological boundaries,
highlighting the role of communication in our survival as a species, and
discussing the role of communication in our everyday lives. Further, we define
