Summary:
A Concise Introduction to Pure Mathematics, Second Edition provides a
robust bridge between high school and university mathematics,
expanding upon basic topics in ways that will interest first-year
students in mathematics and related fields and stimulate further
study. Divided into 22 short chapters, this textbook offers a
selection of exercises ranging from routine calculations to quite
challenging problems. The author discusses real and complex numbers
and explains how these concepts are applied in solving natural
problems. He introduces topics in analysis, geometry, number theory,
and combinatorics. What's New in the Second Edition: · Contains extra
material concerning prime numbers, forming the basis for data
encryption · Explores "Secret Codes" - one of today's most
spectacular applications of pure mathematics · Discusses Permutations
and their importance in many topics in discrete mathematics The
textbook allows for the design of courses with various points of
emphasis, because it can be divided into four fairly independent
sections related to: an introduction to number systems and analysis;
theory of the integers; an introduction to discrete mathematics; and
functions, relations, and countability.
