 BORING February 18, 2002
Dana Jean Stanley (Grand Prairie, Texas USA)

I actually have the first edition and not this one. However they are both boring. The two do not vary from each other. Don't attempt to read it for fun. It will bore you to death.
Excellent but hard! January 15, 2001

This book is the best among all the Discrete Math Textbooks that I have ever read. First of all, it is hard! Secondly it is interesting. Thirdly, its ideas are well presented! If there are complete solutions provided, then it would be a perfect book on the subject. One star means best in MY definition and five worst. Just for fun!
It's poorly written; too few answers at back of book. September 25, 1999

If you want to learn Discrete Mathematics without the help of a professor you're out of luck with this book. There are plenty of exercises to ponder and work in the book which is great, but there are very few answers given in the back of the book so that makes for an unusually bad situation. And I don't think there is an edition for faculty. With this book you'll need an excellent teacher to guide you through this difficult material. And if you're like me, you would rather know that you don't have to rely completely on the professor to answer the millions of questions you will definitely encounter throughout the text because teachers are very busy and usually hard to contact due to their limited office hours. Take it from a college student and don't waste your money on this utterly useless math book if you don't have to do so. It could have been written much better with the aid of a math major who, for the purposes of the book, would have needed to never have been exposed to Discrete Mathematics. Only this kind of person can point out the areas that are unclear. And there quite a number and I'm only on the second chapter.
