Discrete Structures, Logic, and Computability

by James L. Hein

Discrete Mathematics, Second Edition is designed for an introductory course in discrete mathematics for the prospective computer scientist, applied mathematician, or engineer who wants to learn how the ideas apply to computer sciences. The choice of topics-and the breadth of coverage-reflects the desire to provide students with the foundations needed to successfully complete courses at the upper division level in undergraduate computer science courses.

This book differs in several ways from current books about discrete mathematics. It presents an elementary and unified introduction to a collection of topics that has not been available in a single source. A major feature of the book is the unification of the material so that it does not fragment into a collection of seemingly unrelated ideas.

This book is very useful to the Computer Science Under graduate students.

Why is it that when I actually have to read a book to learn something from it, I seem to forget everything the second I finish it? I'm all out of explanations for that phenomena so I will let you think about it for a while. The book is tedious, but has some useful information, hence the three star rating. Also, I think it's time for me to stop writing reviews, this is going to be the last one. It's not like anybody is reading them anyway, but just in case someone is - thank you. If you want me to keep writing just let me know and I might be persuaded to write some more in the future.
