The book supplements the Introduction to Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science specialization at Coursera and contains many interactive puzzles, automatically graded quizzes, and code snippets. They are intended to help you to discover important ideas in discrete mathematics on your own, and to show you corresponding applications of these ideas in computer science.

There are 464 problems and 225 code snippets in the book. Most of the problems come with solutions and 219 of them are graded automatically (allowing you to get instant feedback).
