Applied Discrete Stuctures by Al Doerr and Ken Levasseur is a free open content textbook. You can essentially share it with anyone as long as you leave the Creative Commons license in place. See a more precise legal description below.

You can print any of the documents, but we encourage you to save trees and view them on a computer, iPad, book reader, or smart phone. You can also view them online. and there are Mathematica Notebooks with the same material available on the wiki site.

Instructors may bundle any subset of the pdf's or Notebooks on the wiki site for distribution to their students.

Note to Instructors: So that students can have either the one or two part versions, the pdf's and bound versions of Part 1 and Part 2 have the same page numberings within chapters as the full version. Pageation in the solutions does vary. If you adopt the book, please let us know!

Errata: As we identify errors, they will be logged on the Errata Page.

How to get the files you need for the course and how you can view them.

Computer users: Download the pdf file for your course (see above). Save it anywhere on your computer and view it with any pdf viewer (e. g. Adobe Acrobat Reader). No need to be online!

iPad users: We recommend the GoodReader app ($4.99 on Apple's app store) for viewing and managing pdf's. To get the necessary files for this book:

Copy the url of the pdf of your text.
Open Good Reader
Go to Download... from url
Paste in the url and download
You're done! You can now read your textbook on your iPad!

You can also view the pdf using iBooks, which is a free app, but you can't annotate it as easily

Nook and Kindle and other tablet users You should be able to read the pdf's on your tablet computer. Download the pdf's as any other computer user would and then load them onto your ebook reader. The process of downloading is probably similar to that how you do it with GoodReader.

Wiki Site

You can also visit our wiki site at http://applied-discrete-structures.wiki.uml.edu/, where you can download the files individually. Other resources for learning Discrete Mathematics are also available at that site. Also on the wiki site, you can also download Mathematica Notebooks of individual chapters. UMass Lowell students can download Mathematica for their personal computers: instructions.
