The goal of this book is to showcase the beauty of mathematics as revealed in nine topics of discrete mathematics. In each chapter, properties are explored through a series of straightforward questions that terminate with results that lie at the doorstep of a field of study. Each step along the way is elementary and requires only algebraic manipulation. This frames the wonder of mathematics and highlights the complex world that lies behind a s...

They were little more than boys in the turbulent 1960s when Lee Roy Herron and his high school buddy, David Nelson, signed up for Marine Corps officer training. Decisions during college took the pair in different directions--Lee Roy to the infantry, language school, and the cauldron of Vietnam, David to law school, the JAG office, and eventually to Okinawa. When Lt. Lee Roy Herron was killed on the front lines in February 1969, only two months...

Life has a way of asking questions, and most times the answers are a pulse, one deep breath, and a moment with God. The book of MNIGC "My Name is God's Child" is book told of such moments. It follows 5 years, gazing into the insight of one man's soul determined to have a relationship short of sight, yet full of faith. This relationship develops a passage of paragraphs, incidents, and reason led into a walkway of having reached an acceptance wo...

We will occasionally footnote a portion of text with a "**, , to indicate Notes on the that this portion can be initially bypassed. The reasons for bypassing a Text portion of the text include: the subject is a special topic that will not be referenced later, the material can be skipped on first reading, or the level of mathematics is higher than the rest of the text. In cases where a topic is self-contained, we opt to collect the material int...

Many communities across the nation still lack affordable housing. And many officials continue to claim that "affordable housing" is an oxymoron. Building inexpensively is impossible, they say, because there are too many regulations. Required environmental impact statements and habitat protection laws, they contend, drive up the costs of construction. But is this actually true? In a comprehensive study of the question, the authors of this eye-o...
