Discrete Mathematics and its Applications is a focused introduction to the primary themes in a discrete mathematics course, as introduced through extensive applications, expansive discussion, and detailed exercise sets. These themes include mathematical reasoning, combinatorial analysis, discrete structures, algorithmic thinking, and enhanced problem-solving skills through modeling. Its intent is to demonstrate the relevance and practicality of discrete mathematics to all students. The Fifth Edition includes a more thorough and linear presentation of logic, proof types and proof writing, and mathematical reasoning. This enhanced coverage will provide students with a solid understanding of the material as it relates to their immediate field of study and other relevant subjects. The inclusion of applications and examples to key topics has been significantly addressed to add clarity to every subject. True to the Fourth Edition, the text-specific web site supplements the subject matter in meaningful ways, offering additional material for students and instructors. Discrete math is an active subject with new discoveries made every year. The continual growth and updates to the web site reflect the active nature of the topics being discussed. The book is appropriate for a one- or two-term introductory discrete mathematics course to be taken by students in a wide variety of majors, including computer science, mathematics, and engineering. College Algebra is the only explicit prerequisite.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Text
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2005

While the book has a very comprehensive overview of logic, algorithms, and definitions; however, the expression for understanding the examples (such as how to calculate matrices) doesn't give a exact method of how they came to that conclusion. Or why exactly the truth tables are what they are. It contains everything you need to do discrete mathematics, but doesn't concretely give you a sense of correct method of order. If you have a tutor, mentor, or professor to help you its pretty easy, but it definitely is not teach yourself discrete mathematics.

The book was a great help to me during a Computer Science Discrete Mathematics course and covered most subjects that were touched upon in the Lectures and then some. What wasn't in the book were excursions and quirks particular to our lecturer.

The contents of the book are not really that helpful, often just simple information that can be found online or in lectures but, it can supplement lectures a bit with the useful problem sections.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Text, occasionally a bit rushed though
Reviewed in Canada on January 11, 2022
Verified Purchase
There are tons of questions which is great and obviously that's more than half of what's needed to learn but I did find the theory is occasionally a bit rushed and grammatical nuances of the mathematics aren't covered. I would pair this text with Transition to Advanced Mathematics (Chartrand, Polimeni, Zhang) to get a more full image of the basics of discrete mathematics and logic
