Just the place for a Snark!

'Discrete mathematics is the study of those things left over after you take away limits, convergence, differentiation, and other fun stuff' is the way many texts begin. But this book uses Lewis Carroll and guides you through set theory, history of mathematics, graph theory, things Boolean, combinatorics and models on computation so that, by the end, you have a solid grounding in discrete mathematics. The Lewis Carroll is not an artifact but the form on which the text is built. So if you are in the business of tricking undergraduates into an unnderstanding of mathematical principles before they realize it, this is your guide.
