Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications Eighth Edition

Kenneth H. Rosen received his B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1972), and his Ph.D. in Mathematics from M.I.T. (1976), where he wrote his thesis in number theory under the direction of Harold Stark. Before joining Bell Laboratories in 1982, he held positions at the University of Colorado, Boulder; The Ohio State University, Columbus; and the University of Maine, Orono, where he was an associate professor of mathematics. He enjoyed a long career as a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories (and AT&T Laboratories) in Monmouth County, New Jersey. While working at Bell Labs, he taught at Monmouth University, teaching courses in discrete mathematics, coding theory, and data security. After leaving AT&T Labs, he became a visiting research professor of computer science at Monmouth University, where he has taught courses in algorithm design, computer security and cryptography, and discrete mathematics.
