PrefaceThisInstructor's Resource GuideforDiscreteMathematics and Its Applications, eighthedition, consists of five items that an instructor of a course in discretemathematics using the text should find useful.The bulk of thisGuideconsistsof solutions to all the even-numbered exercises in the text, and thus complementstheStudent's Solutions GuideforDiscreteMathematics and Its Applications, eighthedition, which contains solutions to the odd-numbered exercises. It is assumedthat the user of the present manual has access to thatGuideas well. Thesolutions presented here are not necessarily the only ways of solving these problems,of course, nor are the answers unique in all cases. These are completesolutions, although they are somewhat less expository than the student-orientedsolutions in theStudent's SolutionsGuide.Several detailed courseoutlines are shown, for courses with different emphases and different studentback grounds and ability levels. These suggested syllabi include courses with amathematics emphasis, courses with a computer science emphasis, one-termcourses, and two-term courses.ThisGuidecontainsdetailed teaching suggestions for instructors. There are chapter overviews,followed by remarks on each section. Goals and prerequisites are stated, adviceon teaching the section is offered, and comments on the exercise sets arepresented.Two sample tests areprovided for each chapter and two sample final examinations--the first easierthan the second in each case. Solutions for the test questions are included.Instructors can draw on these sample tests when constructing tests for theirown classes, or they can provide them to students as samples with which toprepare for the actual exams.Finally, thisGuidecontainsa test bank of more than a thousand exam questions. Answers are included.In addition to thisGuide, youwill find the companion website created forDiscrete Mathematics and Its Applicationsan invaluable resource. Included here are a Web ResourcesGuide with links to external websites keyed to the textbook, numerous ExtraExamples to reinforce important topics, Interactive Demonstration Applets for exploringkey algorithms, Self Assessment question banks to gauge student understandingof core concepts, and many helpful resources instructors can use for in-classteaching and homework assignments. See the section titled “The CompanionWebsite” on page xvi of the textbook for more details. The address iswww.mhhe.com/rosen.I want to thank JerryGrossman for his extensive advice and assistance in the preparation of thisGuide,Paul Lorczak, Georgia Mederer, Lyndon Weberg, and Suzanne Zeitman fordouble-checking the solutions, and students at Monmouth College and OaklandUniversity for their input on preliminary versions of solutions to theexercises. The test bank was produced by John Michaels, for whose excellentwork I am most grateful. Some questions and answers for this bank were contributedby Tao Jiang, Nancy Kinnersley, Antonette Logar, Thomas Roe, Zoltan Szekely,and Bharti Temkin, to whom I also extend my appreciation.It is possible thatthere are a few errors here, despite our best efforts at eliminating them. Iwould appreciate hearing about all that you find, be they typographical ormathematical. Any other comments that will improve subsequent editions of thisbook are always greatly appreciated.
