Decent book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2011

Discrete Mathmatics and Its Applications (6e) by Kenneth H. Rosen is a very nice book. Everything looks really nice and the first chapter at least is pretty easy to understand. (I have taken up to Calculus 4 in college.) The big thing is I had to get this book for a class in the summer 2011. So there wasn't much choice for me. The one major issue I have seen is the answer in the back of the book are limited which means I'll probably be spending a lot of time working on homework.

Having seen some really bad math books I gave this one a 5.

WARNING: Be prepared to read a lot!!! This is not a look at example book. You will have to read a lot and work hard to understand it but I've come to realize college math is like that.

Anyways, best of luck with your studies.

better than the rest

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2007

many of the complaints that you read have some validity. i still like it more than most other texts available, because it nicely uses computer science examples (as is clearly stated by the author) AND has a VER through study guide.

Rosen's study guide is thicker than most texts. VERY detailed answers so that you can actually figure out why you got the wrong answer. i would pay more for the study guide than i would for 90% of the krapp being sold today. too many authors take the cheap cop-out of "letting the student explore on their own" = lazy author.

get the study guide, you'll be happy you did.

This is a very good product. The print is good quality and easy to read. The Amazon.com agent that provided the e-copy was very quick to respond to the order, taking only minutes to download. The only qualm I have with the electronic download version is that some of the pages are a bit off-centered. Not much mind you, but in some (only a few)instances on the problems it makes it a bit more challenging to do a copy and paste for homework purposes.

Most of the topics, such as propositional logic and introduction to different proofs, are explained very well and clearly. I really enjoyed reading these sections and even read them on my own (without it being assigned for homework!) A few other topics, like the Chinese Remainder Theorem, are not as clearly presented and made me confused. In the end a Youtube video on the CRT was what saved the day. Rosen explains most discrete math concepts well save for a few.

Really between 3 and 4 stars, but ...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 22, 2011

Verified Purchase

Good:
- The breadth of coverage.
- Well designed, progressive (and plentiful) exercises at the end of each chapter, many with the solutions in the back of the book.

Bad:
- Not the clearest of explanations.
- Sneaked in a few concepts/definitions in examples which should've been better called out.
- Heavy (as in weight from mass) ...

Ugly:
- 7th edition came out, so the resell value of the 6th edition plummeted.

Note: I'm pretty comfortable with the subjects covered, plus I have other books for reference; otherwise, I may have wanted to retain this text. A borderline keeper, depending on taste and what else is already on one's shelves. As a textbook, it's not bad, but not great either.

Highly recommend.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 15, 2017

This book was required for a college class I was taking. I never actually read any of it, but I was surprised to find that I could sell it back to the Barnes and Noble on campus for almost three times higher than I bought it for. I religiously bought this book every semester and sold it back to the bookstore until I graduated.

I didn't pass the class, but my whiskey was basically free for the rest of my college career. Highly recommend.

Okay if you are already familiar with the concepts

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

This book was of little help to me in my class that required I purchase it. I spent hours on-line finding more useful presentations of concepts from MIT and the Khan Academy. If trying to learn Discrete math and not have a refresher, make sure to pick up the Student guide. Although the answers are in this book, the student guide has better (not good) explanations of why a question is correct and how you solve it. A Co-worker of mine who has a degree in math, who tutored me, loved the book as it was concise in refreshing his memory to break it down into small simple bit-sized concepts for me.

Plan to Use Supplemental Materials

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

My issue with this book is that it is not very helpful if you are learning on your own. I'm taking an online Discrete course (independent study) and I've found that I have to visit the instructor often in order to get concepts explained to me. Oftentimes, the examples in the book have very little to do with the problem sets, and the examples are not explained very well, making it overly difficult to pick up on concepts. In addition, the book includes a lot of biographies of mathematicians, which means the book is longer than it should be. I would rather the author devoted page space to explaining the concepts and giving meaningful examples. I have gone as far as to purchase an instructor's solution guide, just so that I can try to understand some of the examples (the student solution guide is another review). Expect that you will need to buy some kind of supplemental materials. If you're just wanting to learn this on your own, don't choose this book.

The most well written book on one of the most difficult subjects that I have ever seen. Includes lots of practical example questions and directly ties in for students in Computer Science and Software Engineering programs.
