Experimental Mathematics with Maple

Beschreibung

While discrete mathematics rapidly becomes a standard requirement in undergraduate mathematics programs, algebraic computing is now the computational tool of choice. This book merges these two trends. It introduces the foundations of discrete mathematics and assuming no previous knowledge of computing, gradually develops basic computational skills using MAPLE. The author's approach is to expose readers to a large number of concrete computational examples, encouraging them to isolate the general from the particular, to synthesize computational results, formulate conjectures, and attempt rigorous proofs. MAPLE worksheets and solutions to selected exercises are available on the Internet.
