Book Description Susanna Epp's Discrete Mathematics with Applications, Second Edition provides a clear introduction to discrete mathematics. Epp has always been recognized for her lucid, accessible prose that explains complex, abstract concepts with clarity and precision. This book presents not only the major themes of discrete mathematics, but also the reasoning that underlies mathematical thought. The text is suitable for many course structures, including one-semester or full-year classes. Its emphasis on reasoning provides strong preparation for computer science or more advanced mathematics courses. | ||

This is when I fell in love with Math. This book is well written, it contains good examples, and excellent exposition. This was my introduction to mathematical proofs, and after studying it well, I was able to approach more advanced courses, such as advanced calculus and modern algebra with a clear view of how to approach problems where a mathematical proof is needed. I highly recommend this book to undergraduate math majors. | ||
Nice and Clear I honestly can't see how you'd make a book explaining such topics as prime numbers and set theory any clearer than this one. I consider this to be a high quality book. It's easy to understand and reference. Its one drawback is that it covers only a limited number of topics, and none of them are heavy duty. If I found a book that explained graduate level math as well as this one explains undergraduate math, I'd consider it to be gold. | ||
Good book IF you know how to use it. This is a solid math book that covers every topic you'll need to know in the area. Make no mistake this is not a kid's book, and one must know how to study and read math in order to utilize it to the full potential. Many people that rate math books poorly do so because they have not developed adequate skills in studying math. If you take your time, work out the examples with the book, read and read again all of the concepts are about as clear as they can come from a math book. Most teachers/professors prefer to use their own examples, because that's how they abstract the problem in their own mind. It's easier to create a problem, than sit down and observe a premade example. Aside from some slightly screwy lesson organization it is a solid book. If you have patience, and try to do more than briefly skim over a lesson to understand it this book will be more than adequate for the topic. | ||
Awful, even the prof said so This book is horrible. I am a graduate software engineering student and took this course at a local university. The prof said that the book is horrible and used his own exaplainations and skipped the books explainations. If I was forced to use the book's explaination and examples I would be S.O.L. The only reason every discrete class uses this book is because there are no other discrete books in competition. If you are a comp sci student they should break discrete math classes apart to discrete for comp sci and discrete from math majors. They should also have comp sci teachers teaching this because math teachers don't usually have a clue how to relate discrete math to computer science. | ||
Excellent Math Book This is one of the best undergraduate math textbooks I have ever read. The concepts and examples provided by the author are very clear. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn Discrete Math. | ||
