Customer Reviews

Not for beginners. A challenging math book.

This review is about an older edition of the book. This text is appropiate for students/researchers who have a strong mathematical background or who intend to be competent in discrete mathematics. In my opinion this book requires mathematical maturity to understand most proofs and examples given. It certainly leaves out details of proofs, or omits entire proofs which make it hard to understand. But that is usual with any good math book. The examples tend to be abstract rather than practical. Reading this text requires a lot of thinking.I wish it included some Automata and Complexity Theory as some other Discrete Math books do. But in any case the book is comprehensive and the presentation style is formal and well organized. I recognize a lot of effort from the authors putting so much information together in a single text with a clear/consistent notation. The book would be much thicker if it included every detail in proofs, and had more theorems and examples.In short, this is a good book. I do research in Computer Science and I use this book as reference. This book can be a bad introductory text to Discrete Math. However, if you intend to pursue Graduate studies in Computer Science, Math, Operations Research or any other related discipline this book can be excellent help. By the way, the first author is an outstanding Computer Science researcher.

Great!

This book is quite easy to understand and shows us many interesting concepts. It has lots of explanations and proofs that make careful readers comprehend materials deeply. But those detailed explanations might be a little hard for unprepared or incompetent students.

THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
