Discrete mathematics [videorecording] / by Benjamin, Arthur.(CARDINAL)362888; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Course workbook includes professor biography, acknowledgments, statement of course scope, lecture outline with suggested readings and questions to consider, timeline, glossary, biographical notes, and bibliography.Producer, Matt Costanza ; academic content supervisor, Jay Tate ; editors, Dan Shine, Zach Rhodes.Twenty-four thirty minute lectures by Dr. Arthur T. Benjamin, Professor of Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College.Discrete mathematics is a subject that--while off the beaten track--has vital applications in computer science, cryptography, engineering, and problem solving of all types. Discrete mathematics deals with quantities that can be broken into neat little pieces, like pixels on a computer screen, the letters or numbers in a password, or directions on how to drive from one place to another. Like a digital watch, discrete mathematics is that in which numbers proceed one at a time, resulting in fascinating mathematical results using relatively simple means, such as counting. This course delves into three of Discrete Mathematics most important fields: Combinatorics (the mathematics of counting), Number theory (the study of the whole numbers), and Graph theory (the relationship between objects in the most abstract sense). Professor Benjamin presents a generous selection of problems, proofs, and applications for the wide range of subjects and foci that are Discrete Mathematics.DVD.

Soul of discretion : a chief superintendent Simon Serrailler mystery / by Hill, Susan,1942-(CARDINAL)713288;
From the outside, the cathedral town of Lafferton seems idyllic, but in many ways it is just like any other place. It suffers from the same kinds of crime, is subject to the same pressures from a rapidly changing world, and has the same hopes and fears as any number of towns up and down the land. When Simon Serrailler is called in by Lafferton's new Chief Constable, Kieran Bright, he is met by two plainclothes officers, who ask him to take the principal role in a difficult, potentially dangerous undercover operation. He must leave town immediately, without telling anyone--not even his girlfriend Rachel, who has only just moved in with him. Meanwhile, Simon's sister Cat is facing difficult choices at work, as Lafferton's hospice closes its bedded units--and at home, as her daughter is presented with a glittering opportunity that they would have to struggle to afford. And all is not well with Simon and Cat's stepmother, Judith, either. To complete his special operation, Simon must inhabit the mind of the worst kind of criminal. This takes its toll on Simon and--as the investigation unfolds--also on the town and some of its most respected citizens.
