    Textbook: R.P. Grimaldi, Discrete and combinatorial mathematics. An applied introduction, Pearson, fifth edition, ISBN 0-321-21103-0.
    Note that the version with ISBN 1-292-02279-5 is of very bad quality and does not include chapter 17.
    The textbook is valuable for its many examples, but it lacks the usual definition-theorem structure of mathematical writing.
    Therefore Sofia provides a kompendium to help put order in the theory. See below.

    Video recordings: Previous instructors have put recordings of their lectures in youtube playlists.
    There is the 2017 lectures by Benjamin Nill and the 2020 lectures by Boris Shapiro.
