As a complete introduction to all of the important areas in discrete mathematics - and as preparation for advanced courses in computer science or electrical engineering with discrete mathematics as a prerequisite - this text is ideal. The authors are well-known, highly respected mathematicians with many years of practical experience. They have included all parts of the subject that are essential for all practical applications, plus some less directly applicable topics which are intellectually challenging and fun (combinatorics, Euler's V-E+F=2 theorem, and mathematical games). More than 200 worked examples, 1,500 problems, and 600 figures are included.

<p>This revised edition of McEliece's classic is a self-contained introduction to all basic results in the theory of information and coding. This theory was developed to deal with the fundamental problem of communication, that of reproducing at one point, either exactly or approximately, a message selected at another point. There is a short and elementary overview introducing the reader to the concept of coding. Following the main results, the channel and source coding theorems is a study of specific coding schemes which can be used for channel and source coding. This volume can be used either for self-study, or for a graduate/undergraduate level course at university. It includes dozens of worked examples and several hundred problems for solution.</p>
