“… my first choice of reference is always this book. It is the most concise and readable introductory text I have ever encountered and it is a rare occasion when I fail to find the background material needed to solve the problem … I have pulled the ideas for many test questions from it over the years.” —Charles Ashbacher

“The book is written in a language both accessible and attractive to students. The author succeeds in not falling into the trap of a sort of ‘mathematical baby talk’ to meet his goals. … “ —Zentralblatt MATH, 1048 Since its first edition published in 1981, Set, Function and Logic has smoothed the road to higher mathematics for legions of undergraduate students. Now in its third edition, the narrative is more lively, less textbook-like. Remarks and asides link the various topics to the real world. The result is an affordable, thoroughly engaging book that every student making the transition from high school to university mathematics will welcome.

This comprehensive handbook presents practical tools and techniques for implementing natural language processing in computer systems. Along with removing outdated material, this edition offers greater prominence to statistical approaches and a broader multilingual scope to include Asian and European languages. It also contains a new section that covers many well-known and emerging applications, including machine translation, biomedical text mining, and sentiment analysis. In addition, an actively maintained companion wiki provides online resources, supplementary information, and up-to-date developments.

A Concise Introduction to Pure Mathematics Second Edition Martin Liebeck Imperial College, London, UK

Handbook of Mathematical Induction

Introduction to Mathematics of Satisfiability

Theory and Applications

Victor W. Marek

David S. Gunderson

University of Kentucky, Lexington, USA

University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada

This book focuses on the satisfiability of theories consisting of propositional logic formulas. After covering logic fundamentals, it examines clauses, their proof theory and semantics, and basic complexity issues of propositional logic. The final chapters on knowledge representation explore finite runs of Turing machines, encodings into SAT, constraint satisfaction systems, and answer set programming.

This comprehensive handbook presents the formal development of natural numbers from axioms, which leads into set theory and transfinite induction. It contains numerous exercises highlighting the various levels of difficulty of an inductive proof, the variety of inductive techniques available, and the scope of results provable by mathematical induction.

Math and Art An Introduction to Visual Mathematics Sasho Kalajdzievski University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada

Quantum Computing From Linear Algebra to Physical Realizations Mikio Nakahara and Tetsuo Ohmi Kinki University, Osaka, Japan

With explicit derivations, exercises, and selected solutions, this self-contained, classroom-tested book examines the theoretical aspects of quantum computing and focuses on several candidates of a working quantum computer. It covers theoretical tools, such as vectors, matrices, quantum gates, and integral and Fourier transforms, and explores applications at the forefront of the field.

Introduction to Mathematical Proofs A Transition Charles Roberts Indiana State University, Terre Haute, USA

Written in a conversational style, yet maintaining the proper mathematical rigor, this accessible book teaches how to reason logically, how to read proofs critically, and how to write valid mathematical proofs. It facilitates a smooth transition from courses designed to develop computational skills and problem solving abilities to courses that emphasize theorem proving.

Catalog no. C6955, 2009 433 pp., ISBN: 978-1-4200-6955-6 $89.95 / £57.99

“… engages the reader through explorations with lots of hands-on exercises. The mathematical presentation is solid, and the choice of topics puts the focus on the visual presentation of mathematical concepts. The illustrations are beautiful! … This text is very readable … accessible to those with little mathematical background, and yet the presentation is still engaging for those with more background.” —MAA Reviews “… offers an excellent account of art inspired by mathematics and art generated by mathematics, and it should interest readers in both fields … Highly Recommended.” —R.M. Davis, emeritus, Albion College, in Choice: Current Review for Academic Libraries, Vol. 46, No. 6
