MATH 2703
Discrete Math

Lecture Notes

The following are lecture notes designed for the Discrete Math class at ATU. The topics follow the partition of the textbook "A Discrete Transition to Advanced Mathematics" by Richmond and Richmond. These notes have been improved and will continue to be. Please feel free to browse through them.

To Students: BEWARE! The notes posted here are those that I write for myself to bring to class so that if you miss class, you can see approximately what we covered. I will NOT be posting notes as they would appear in class. There will be many missing examples and explanations. This is not a replacement for coming to class and taking notes yourself.
