DMP: Textbooks
The course uses two textbooks.
Weeks 1–6
Discrete Mathematics with Applications by Susanna S. Epp, Fifth Edition, Metric Version
The author maintains a list of errors found so far in the book.
Weeks 7–11
Probability with Applications in Engineering, Science, and Technology by Matthew A. Carlton and Jay L. Devore, Second Edition
Both are available online through subscription paid for by the university library: go to the “Library Resources” entry on Learn, click on the “Resource List” link, then “Core Reading” and “View online” for the book you are interested in. For Epp there is a version to view online in a browser; Carlton and Devore is available as a PDF to download.
The following direct links may work if you are already logged in to your university account.
- Discrete Mathematics with Applications (try Microsoft 365 sign-in)
- Probability with Applications in Engineering, Science, and Technology
If these are unsuccessful then use the route through Learn, which will provide authentication from the university library to the publisher.
Note: Please do not use the “Download” option for Epp but instead always choose “Read Online”. Access is capped at a limited number of concurrent users and downloading will block other students for a minimum of 24 hours.
