Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
This gentle introduction to discrete mathematics is written for first and second year math majors, especially those who intend to teach. The text began as a set of lecture notes for the discrete mathematics course at the University of Northern Colorado. This course serves both as an introduction to topics in discrete math and as the "introduction to proof" course for math majors. The course is usually taught with a large amount of student inquiry, and this text is written to help facilitate this. Four main topics are covered: counting, sequences, logic, and graph theory. Along the way proofs are introduced, including proofs by contradiction, proofs by induction, and combinatorial proofs. The book contains over 360 exercises, including 230 with solutions and 130 more involved problems suitable for homework. There are also Investigate! activities throughout the text to support active, inquiry based learning.

Recurrence and Topology
Author: John M. Alongi
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 082184234X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Since at least the time of Poisson, mathematicians have pondered the notion of recurrence for differential equations. Solutions that exhibit recurrent behavior provide insight into the behavior of general solutions. In Recurrence and Topology, Alongi and Nelson provide a modern understanding of the subject, using the language and tools of dynamical systems and topology. Recurrence and Topology develops increasingly more general topological modes of recurrence for dynamical systems beginning with fixed points and concluding with chain recurrent points.

Recurrent Sequences
Author: Dorin Andrica
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030515028
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
This self-contained text presents state-of-the-art results on recurrent sequences and their applications in algebra, number theory, geometry of the complex plane and discrete mathematics. It is designed to appeal to a wide readership, ranging from scholars and academics, to undergraduate students, or advanced high school and college students training for competitions. The content of the book is very recent, and focuses on areas where significant research is currently taking place. Among the new approaches promoted in this book, the authors highlight the visualization of some recurrences in the complex plane, the concurrent use of algebraic, arithmetic, and trigonometric perspectives on classical number sequences, and links to many applications. It contains techniques which are fundamental in other areas of math and encourages further research on the topic. The introductory chapters only require good understanding of college algebra, complex numbers, analysis and basic combinatorics. For Chapters 3, 4 and 6 the prerequisites include number theory, linear algebra and complex analysis. The first part of the book presents key theoretical elements required for a good understanding of the topic. The exposition moves on to to fundamental results and key examples of recurrences and their properties. The geometry of linear recurrences in the complex plane is presented in detail through numerous diagrams, which lead to often unexpected connections to combinatorics, number theory, integer sequences, and random number generation. The second part of the book presents a collection of 123 problems with full solutions, illustrating the wide range of topics where recurrent sequences can be found. This material is ideal for consolidating the theoretical knowledge and for preparing students for Olympiads.

Mathematical Recurrence Relations: Visual Mathematics Series
Author: Kiran R. Desai, Ph.d.
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781481219273
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
This book is about arranging numbers in a two dimensional space. It illustrates that it is possible to create many different regular patterns of numbers on a grid that represent meaningful summations. It uses a color coding scheme to enhance the detection of the underlying pattern for the numbers. Almost all arrangements presented are scalable or extensible, in that the matrix can be extended to larger size without the need to change existing number placements. The emphasis in this book is about the placement and summation of all the numbers for recursive embeddings. In many cases, visual charts are used to provide a higher level view of the topography, and to make the recurrence relations come alive. Number arrangements are represented for many well known multi-dimensional numbers, polygonal numbers, and various polynomials defined by recurrence relations based on equations that are a function of an integer variable n. The solutions for the recurrence relations can also be checked by adding the numbers in the arrangements presented. It is also possible to create a recurrence relation by starting with any polynomial equation using induction principles. Studying the terms in the recurrence relation helps design of the matrix and the number arrangement. This book has shown arrangements for exact powers of two, three, four, and five. Higher powers are indeed conceivable in two or three dimensional space and could be a topic for further study. Number arrangements for equations with different polynomial degree are seen to differ in the rate of change between values at adjacent levels. These have been elaborated at various places in the book. The study of recurrence relations is then steered towards arrangements for multiplication tables and linear equations in two variables. When enumerated on a coordinate graph, linear equations are seen as planar surfaces in space, and also allow solving a system of such equations visually. Although intended for college or advanced high school level students, for the majority audience this book serves as a treatise on the beauty inherent in numbers.
