This course was fine, but I can't really bring myself to give a math textbook a higher rating than 1 star. I only took this course and read this book because it is required for my to obtain my Psychology degree so I can become a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Much of the math in this book was impractical and unnecessary for the average person.

Used this book for my Discrete Mathematics class. I will keep this book around. Students are always saying that will never use math after high school. This book has many problems which students could use in real-life situations.

This is a math book so it is not exactly exciting reading. There are some interesting facts, but not enough to overcome the fact that this is a math book.

One of the few best books in math, which solved the golden equation - to do math and still be fun.
