This university learning plan consists of a primer on discrete mathematics and its applications including a brief introduction to a few numerical analysis.
'I was speaking one day to a chemical expert about Avogrado's hypothesis concerning the number of molecules of the gases in equal volume, and its relation with the so-called Mariotte's law and its consequences in modern chemistry, and he came to answer: "Theories, theories! All of that does not matter to me ... That is for those who do science, I just apply it." I kept silent, torturing my mind to finding out how science can be applied without doing it, and finally, when after some time I knew why our expert had been close to dying, I understood it finally.'
Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936): De la enseñanza superior en España [On higher education in Spain], Madrid, Revista Nueva, 1899, http://www.liburuklik.euskadi.eus/handle/10771/24524, p. 45. Also, in: Obras Completas de Miguel de Unamuno, Vol. VIII (Ensayos), pp. 1-58 (the quotation, on page 32).
'Listening to my father during those early years, I began to realise how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good, either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.'

The recommendations included in the Computer Engineering Curricula 2016* and in the Computer Science Curricula 2013†, among others, have been considered.
Regarding Discrete Mathematics, the latter report identifies the following topics as the knowledge base for discrete structures (pp.76-81):
(DS1) Functions, relations and sets,
(DS2) Basic logic,
(DS3) Proof techniques,
(DS4) Basics of counting,
(DS5) Graphs and trees, and
(DS6) Discrete probability,
to which we would add:
(DM1) Algebraic structures,
(DM2) Matrices,
(DM3) Algorithms and complexity, and
(DM4) Basic number theory.
On the other hand, we have to keep in mind that some of these topics are studied in other courses taught at the School of Technology: DS6, in Statistics (UEX 501270); DM2, in Linear Algebra (UEX 502382); DM3, in Introduction to Programming (UEX 502304) and in Analysis and Design of Algorithms (UEX 501273); DS5, in Analysis and Design of Algorithms (UEX 501273) and in Data Structures and Information (UEX 501271), although from an algorithmic point of view.
With respect to Numerical Calculus and in order to provide students with a sufficient introduction to the algorithms and methods for computing discrete approximations used to solving continuous problems, in terms of linear and non linear approaches to a problem, we identify as essential contents:
(NC1) Roots of Equations,
(NC2) Linear Algebraic Equations, and
(NC3) Curve Fitting (regression and interpolation).
On the other hand, again, we have to keep in mind that some of these topics are studied in other courses taught at the School of Technology: NC2, in Linear Algebra (UEX 502382); NC3, in Statistics (UEX 501270) (with regard to regression).
After taking this course students should have reached the following objectives:
Targets: Representation, formulation, abstraction, modelling, verification and generalization.
General: Acquire scientific culture and mathematical culture in particular. Enhance reflective and creative attitudes. Enhance skills and abilities of analysis, search, discovery, verification and generalization. Promote the development and enhancement of problem-solving skills and of positive attitudes towards mathematical, analytical and concrete critical thinking. Be prepared for independent, critical study and assessment of elementary academic and informative publications about the topics covered in the course. Develop the capacity for lifelong learning.
Common: Enhance the ability to develop strategies for problem solving and decision making. Increase the ability to interpret the results obtained. Increase the rigor in the arguments and develop the reading and writing skills, the ability to use information and the capacity to make written or oral presentation of ideas and reasoning.
Specific for themes 1 (Fundamentals) and 2 (Number Theory): Enhance the ability to understand and use the logical-mathematical language. Develop the capacity for abstraction through the construction of logical-mathematical arguments. Enhance the capacity of logical-mathematical reasoning in its deductive, inductive, abductive and algorithmic types.
Specific for themes 3 (Combinatorics) and 4 (Difference Equations): Enhance the capacity of logical-mathematical reasoning in its inductive, algorithmic and recursive types. Enhance the ability to count.
Although in respect of scientific knowledge, it has no particular prerequisites, some prior background in maths (mainly in algebra, calculus and probability) and computing (mainly in programming) is welcomed but in no way presupposed. Regarding English language, it may be desirable that you are at a intermediate conversational level, e.g. at least as skilled as an independent (self-reliant) user (level B) according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages*. You might find out your English level taking this free online English test and then you might improve your knowledge of the English language, for instance, practising your English skills at your level, and many more things available on these pages by the British Council (Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities 2005).
As this book cover the vast majority of the material of the course — which, incidentally, corresponds to what is currently taught in hundreds of universities in the field of discrete mathematics —, students are encouraged to adopt and study it. Rosen's book is both a textbook and a workbook with lots of exercises and practical cases (computer projects, computations and explorations). It is even a guidebook including suggested readings, Despite its encyclopaedic spirit, it is also a handbook including lists of key terms and results and review questions.
As you know, the content of newer editions are usually updated and improved versions of the content of older editions, occasionally including new content, so it is highly recommendable that, as far as possible, you read and study the new versions of the sections and exercises. However, within that aim of making continuous improvements, some contents may have been removed so it is also important to take a look to the older and newer editions, therefore keep mainly in mind these editions (even though only the seventh is highlighted):
All these companion websites include, among other material and resources, interactive demos, self assessments and extra examples.
Companion books describing solutions for each of the proposed exercises[edit]
On the other side, this book is accompanied by books describing solutions for each of the proposed exercises, for instance, for the 5th and 7th US editions:
Companion books exploring and discussing contents and solutions to the proposed 'computer projects' and 'computations and explorations'[edit]
And also by the supplementary books exploring and discussing contents and solutions to the 'computer projects' and 'computations and explorations' sections, from the 7th US edition:
Companion book about applications of discrete mathematics[edit]
Finally, you can download another supplement, one book about applications of discrete mathematics, last edition, paired with Rosen's book 6th edition, in any case for you to study it once you finish the course, except for the chapters that are of interest to it:
Participating in MATDIN is an optional continuous evaluation out-of-class practical activity which is worth a try for contributing to your personal developmentand because it might help you boost your course grade; furthermore, if you are thinking of grading with distinction ['matrícula de honor', in Spanish], your participation in this project is strongly recommended. Find out more on
its descriptive web page and in the welcome message to the course.
It is important that you become aware that joining the university project 'Discrete numerical mathematics' is optional. Therefore, it is entirely up to you to do it. But if you do it, remember, you are required to:
(a) use your true identity on free, open and public access web pages (Wikipedia) — although you can use an alias as your username, you must report your real identity (first, middle and last name) on your user page on the English Wikipedia —;
(b) be polite and respect diversity (please remember, diversity is a wealth, neither a problem nor a threat);

Appendices (optional) (some complimentary or curious facts apart from the present programme, although related to it)
English-language Wikipedia is a collective and voluntary work that, like all works, contains inaccuracies(1), while «perfection is a polished collection of mistakes» (phrase often attributed on the web to Mario Benedetti and to Mario Satz).
I encourage you to correct them, to contribute with everything you learn about the topics we deal with, to contrast with Wikipedia in other languages if you know them, to gather information from other texts, in short, to drink in good sources. And write new articles in the English-language Wikipedia. Ultimately, contribute to improve this free encyclopedia as you study and learn.
By way of example, some good sources on the web are:

Zermelo's well-ordering theorem (Note: The fact that every set may be well ordered, is what most people apparently also call 'Well-ordering principle' (WOP); ref., e.g.: Bagaria, Joan, 'Set Theory', The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Fall 2019 Edition), Edward N. Zalta (ed.), URL = <https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2019/entries/set-theory/>, and so many others; what Wikipedia and Wolfram MathWorld and others call WOP is the particular case of being a well-ordered set by <; in short, the current situation in the literature is that WOP has two meanings, either Zermelo's Theorem or is well-orderd by <).

Y indicates that the column's property is always true the row's term (at the very left), while ✗ indicates that the property is not guaranteed in general (it might, or might not, hold). For example, that every equivalence relation is symmetric, but not necessarily antisymmetric, is indicated by Y in the "Symmetric" column and ✗ in the "Antisymmetric" column, respectively.
All definitions tacitly require the homogeneous relation be transitive: for all if and then
A term's definition may require additional properties that are not listed in this table.
