Summary: A very valuable book!!
Review: I've been studying this book for a semester and I found this a good one. However there are too much helpful exercises, I think the book should have all the answers and be more thorough. Because most of time it's hard to understand it when studying alone.

Summary: Makes a Simple things Harder than they should be
Review: This book makes simple things harder than they should be. It lacks good examples and explanation which makes it hard to learn some topics as the reader has no clue of how the author came with her solution.In the exercises, only 15% of the questions have solutions and are not concise enough to give the reader an idea of how to solve the harder questions with no solutions. It does contain practice questions with solutions but alot of the solutions are just answers with little description. Again, the practice questions are elementary in comparision to the exercises.

Summary: the cover designer must have been drunk.
Review: This is an excellent text. It is great for anyone who is interested in Computer Science. Professor Gersting covers all of the basic mathematical structures necessary for through understading of Computer Science. The material is presented on a low level initailly to facilitate understanding. The relationship between Math and Computer Science is one in which Professor Judith Gersting presents well without explicitly stating it. This book is well organized and detailed in every way. The problems presented are appropriate and timely. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have.

Summary: A very valuable book!!
Review: With all due respect to some of the other reviewers, I found this book extremely helpful and extremely well written. Much of the polarity in the reviews may stem from the fact that different people have different learning models and corresponding expectations. As a career changer with several degrees in other engineering disciplines, I found many of the explanations very helpful and very appropriate relative to my current learning/retraining objectives. With the examples and practice problems, this book provides what I believe to be an excellent introduction to a wide range of topics relating to the mathematical basis for computer science. I find that I typically consult this book first before moving to other more rigorous (and often more obscure) treatments of the same topics.
