Discrete Mathematics and its Applications by Kenneth H. Rosen
Product Description
This text is designed for the sophomore/junior level introduction to discrete mathematics taken by students preparing for future coursework in areas such as math, computer science and engineering. Rosen has become a bestseller largely due to how effectively it addresses the main portion of the discrete market, which is typically characterized as the mid to upper level in rigor. The strength of Rosen's approach has been the effective balance of theory with relevant applications, as well as the overall comprehensive nature of the topic coverage.

The author is difficult to follow
I would NOT reccoment this text for anyone that is returning to school after being away for any length of time. It is the reccomended text of the class I am currently taking, over half of the students are having difficulties with this book and are purchasing additional text to supplement the lessons.
Great buy
Purchased for computer science course since it was required. Great price, good book.
A good book
I like this book and use it for teaching my students. As a teacher, you have the opportunity to select similar problems for class activity and homework assignment. Also, you can find not only simple and middle-level problems but also high-level problems to provide a good source for active students. Unfortunately, the author uses the letters "F" and "T" in the truth tables instead of much easier and perspective "0" and "1", which correspond to the real needs, e.g., in computer science. That's the most essential lack, which I've found by this time.
