    Study Notes

    Seventh Edition

    • Kenneth Rosen wrote Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications
    • This edition is a substantial revision of the previous six editions
    • The seventh edition includes extensive feedback from professors, students, and more than 50 reviewers
    • The edits were also reflective of the author’s experience in industry and academia

    Key Benefits

    • The book is the most widely used textbook in its field

    Set Definition

    • A set is an unordered collection of objects, called elements or members.
    • Elements can be listed using braces and the roster method, e.g., {a, b, c, d}.
    • Ellipses (...) are used when the pattern of elements is obvious, e.g., {1, 2, 3, ..., 99}
    • Set builder notation describes elements by their properties, e.g., {x | x is an odd positive integer less than 10}.

    Important Sets in Discrete Mathematics

    • N = {0, 1, 2, 3,...}, the set of natural numbers
    • Z = {...,−2,−1, 0, 1, 2,...}, the set of integers
    • Z+ = {1, 2, 3,...}, the set of positive integers
    • Q = {p/q | p ∈ Z, q ∈ Z, and q = 0}, the set of rational numbers
    • R, the set of real numbers
    • R+, the set of positive real numbers
    • C, the set of complex numbers

    Intervals of Real Numbers

    • [a, b] = {x | a ≤ x ≤ b}, closed interval from a to b
    • [a, b) = {x | a ≤ x < b}, semi-closed interval from a to b
    • (a, b] = {x |a < x ≤ b}, semi-closed interval from a to b
    • (a, b) = {x |a < x < b}, open interval from a to b

    Sets as Elements

    • Sets can contain other sets as members.

    Datatypes and Sets in Computer Science

    • The concept of a datatype or type is built upon sets.
    • A datatype is the name of a set along with operations performed on its elements.
    • Boolean is the set {0, 1} with operators AND, OR, and NOT.
