Discrete Mathematics

by Richard Johnsonbaugh

Discrete Mathematics, 8th Edition is an accessible introduction that helps to develop your mathematical maturity. Ample opportunities to practice, apply and demonstrate conceptual understanding are provided. Exercise sets feature a large number of applications, especially to computer science. Worked examples provide ready reference as you work. The text models various problem-solving techniques in detail, then encourages you to practice these techniques; it also emphasizes how to read and write proofs. Many proofs are illustrated with annotated figures and/or motivated by special Discussion sections. URLs throughout direct you to relevant applications, extensions, and computer programs.

Oh, lordy, make it stop! This book makes such interesting material completely inaccessible to those who are trying to study the subject. Maybe next time I'll try Discrete Maths for Dummies.
