Summary: Awful, even the prof said so
Review: I bought one then sold it online and wish I hadn't. It covers many ideas in logic and fundamentals of discrete thought that are useful for many disciplines such as and not limited to computer science, engineering, design, mathematics, politics and decision making. I bought another one that I found it on sale.

Summary: Wonderful Math book!
Review: I purchased this book for an undergrad math course required for a Comp.Sci. program. I was very pleased with this book. It explained a topic that I was new to very clearly. The examples were relavant and helped explain the topics in each chapter. I never did sell this book back because I think it will be a good reference in the future.

Summary: What a worthless waste of paper!
Review: I see a teacher supported this book, how he could think this book is at all helpful outside of being a good door stop is beyond me. The text is as clear as mudd, the examples are lacking and often have errors in them. The sample questions leave a lot to be desired. Terrible book, I recommend this book only as a means of torture for your worse enemy.

Summary: Wonderful Math book!
Review: I'm currently using this book for a distance Discrete Math course. I couldn't have hoped for a better text book. It's obvious that the author put a lot of time and consideration into this book and wrote with the student in mind. The carefully written narrative and examples are wonderful and provide the reader with a clear understanding of the math being presented. I was especially grateful for the two chapters dedicated to proofs and how to construct them. From what I understand this feature is unique to this book. I am LEARNING Discrete Math and I owe it all to Susanna Epp. One of the best math books I've ever used. Sure to be a classic!

Summary: Awful, even the prof said so
Review: This book is horrible. I am a graduate software engineering student and took this course at a local university. The prof said that the book is horrible and used his own exaplainations and skipped the books explainations. If I was forced to use the book's explaination and examples I would be S.O.L. The only reason every discrete class uses this book is because there are no other discrete books in competition. If you are a comp sci student they should break discrete math classes apart to discrete for comp sci and discrete from math majors. They should also have comp sci teachers teaching this because math teachers don't usually have a clue how to relate discrete math to computer science.

Summary: TERRIBLE
Review: This book should NEVER be allowed to be used by students for undergraduate Math classes. It is unclear, confusing, lacking clear examples and too presumptuous of the readers current skill level. I am amazed and astounded that people consider this text as the 'Best Math book ever'. IT IS HORRIBLE.

Summary: Excellent Math Book
Review: This is one of the best undergraduate math textbooks I have ever read. The concepts and examples provided by the author are very clear. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn Discrete Math.

Summary: Excellent for undergrads
Review: This was the required textbook for my 100-level CIS discrete mathematics course, and was simply the best math text I've ever been forced to read. The examples were, at times, even more clear than my professor's explanations, and made the painful prospect of learning math much more palatable. The examples and explanations are clear, unburdened, and progresses nicely in difficulty levels. The lone drawback is that we routinely discovered blatantly incorrect answers in the professor's solutions-book while going over problems in class. A minor stain upon this most impressive (and almost enjoyable)work.
