5.0 out of 5 starsCame Recommended
By Joel B on December 14, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is among a handful that are recommended for new college math majors, minors, and probably a larger group, computer science students who have to take discrete math. I came across it on a discrete math syllabus. It seems very well put together, some seem to prefer the Velleman, others prefer this. The 2 negative reviews are not actually reviews, just people who could not figure out their kindle, and they should probably be deleted.

A benefit of this book is that there are 15 lectures as well as other supplemental material at the wiley website. Personally I bought this as well as the Velleman, and a few others, to try to prep as much as I can, and to have on hand for reference. There is a ton of material out there on college-level math, but not all of it is well organized, clear, and systematic like this.

5.0 out of 5 starsCheers to a great book
By cbone1763 on July 7, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
I'm rating this 5 stars to cancel out the 2 baboons who just learned how to use a computer/tablet and accidentally bought a book on mathematical proofs on amazon!

Also the book is great and speaks in a very conversational tone which can hep to guide even the most novice of us to write proofs. Who said monkey's can't learn math? There's hope for the trolls yet!

5.0 out of 5 starsEnjoyable book.
By Amazon Customer on October 27, 2015
Format: Paperback
I have worked through the first six chapters of this book doing every problem and I really feel I'm getting a lot from it. I did not understand proofs before and this has helped greatly! I plan on going through velleman after this then tackling the standard topics in undergrad pure math. With every chapter I get through in this book I feel more confident about my chances.

5.0 out of 5 starsNot compatible with Kindle Voyage

The book was great. Pity that, as of 21 July 2015, the Kindle version is not compatible with Kindle Voyage. Unfortunately, I now have to fret over whether purchasing an eBook will work on my device. Argh! Smooth move, Amazon. Smooth move.

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Probably one of the best mathematics books I have ever read, and certainly the best book about proof techniques I have ever read.
