This book is not easy to follow, but if one does, they would get from this book what they can't get from any other book on the same subject.

This book is amazing. It aroused in me a love of discrete mathematics. It has great coverage of combinatorics, set theory, graph theory, finite state machines. The examples are great although they jump from basic to advanced pretty rapidly. I'm a math major, and this has been my favorite textbook. I wish I could use it for a few more classes.h

Чудесно и пълно въведение в темата представено предимно със задачи. За мен беше добро допълнение към неделните сутрешни кафета с цигара, по-добро за събуждане от кръстословица или роман. Не ми хареса, че на особено гадните задачи не са дадени отговори и няколко от тях са ме мъчили по повече от седмица.

really confusing/unclear. poor examples. it was hardly useable and had to refer to other texts in order to actually learn anything.
