Book Description
This text is designed for the sophomore/junior level introduction to discrete mathematics taken by students preparing for future coursework in areas such as math, computer science and engineering. Rosen has become a bestseller largely due to how effectively it addresses the main portion of the discrete market, which is typically characterized as the mid to upper level in rigor. The strength of Rosen's approach has been the effective balance of theory with relevant applications, as well as the overall comprehensive nature of the topic coverage.

Reviews


Great buy
Purchased for computer science course since it was required. Great price, good book.

A good book
I like this book and use it for teaching my students. As a teacher, you have the opportunity to select similar problems for class activity and homework assignment. Also, you can find not only simple and middle-level problems but also high-level problems to provide a good source for active students. Unfortunately, the author uses the letters "F" and "T" in the truth tables instead of much easier and perspective "0" and "1", which correspond to the real needs, e.g., in computer science. That's the most essential lack, which I've found by this time.

This book is interesting
I like the exclamations and the concepts/problem solving this book teaches. Maybe I am being swayed by the subject because I enjoy it, however, in comparison to other math books, this one livens it up and is a higher then the average mathematics book.

Very, very helpful...
This manual was the only reason I got through discrete mathematics for computer science! It's awesome. Now if they only had one for the even solutions...

:-)

The best book on Discrete Math
This is the best book I have come across in Discrete Mathematics. It is fun to read and very easy to follow. The subject was taught as a very theoretical way in my course in college, but this book gave a whole new practical dimension to the topics, mainly in the chapters on Graph Theory.
It is a must buy for anybody who wants to know about the fun side of mathematics. That is not to say that this book is not suitable for the serious study program. It has everything that you may require in an Introductory Discrete Math course.
The problem sets are big and the answers to odd number questions are really helpful at times, when you are stuck. The author's detailing of almost every aspect in the book and coupled with the applications of the same idea make it easy to understand.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I feel anybody who goes through this book, too will enjoy it immensely.
