The text began as a set of lecture notes for the discrete mathematics course at the University of Northern Colorado. This course serves both as an introduction to topics in discrete math and as the \"introduction to proof\" course for math majors. The course is usually taught with a large amount of student inquiry, and this text is written to help facilitate this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour main topics are covered: counting, sequences, logic, and graph theory. Along the way proofs are introduced, including proofs by contradiction, proofs by induction, and combinatorial proofs. The book contains over 470 exercises, including 275 with solutions and over 100 with hints. There are also Investigate  activities throughout the text to support active, inquiry based learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile there are many fine discrete math textbooks available, this text has the following advantages: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is written to be used in an inquiry rich course. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is written to be used in a course for future math teachers. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is open source, with low cost print editions and free electronic editions. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThis third edition brings improved exposition, a new section on trees, and a bunch of new and improved exercises.
