A Classic Textbook

This classic (1978) textbook is 30 years old, but still very useful and relevent. It covers the basic undergraduate course in combinatorial logic, theory, and practice; nobody has ever done it better. Besides a clear and easy-to-understand exposition, this book has some of the best problem sets that I have ever seen. There are, I admit, some more advanced books with recent results. But if you really want to understand this subject, and if you are willing to work through hundreds of excellent problems, I can guarantee you that Cohen is your man!

Must Read - A gem of its kind

I'm a software developer and avid reader of math and tech books. This book is a gem of its kind. Positives: 1. Each problem has been approached in many possible angles - (A common problem with combinatory lovers that they can justify the correctness of their solution but very often fail to proof why other's solution is right or wrong, This book will let you reach a higher level in the subject) 2. Almost each problem will have one solution by logic (no/minimal mathematics involved) and one with math intense solution. This is a great treasure for math-oriented or math-phobic readers. Happy reading...
