Concise explanations, real-world examples, and worked equations make it easy to understand the material, and end-of-chapter exercises and a final exam help reinforce learning.This fast and easy guide offers:Numerous figures to illustrate key concepts Sample problems with worked solutions Coverage of set theory, graph theory, and number theoryChapters on cryptography and Boolean algebra A time-saving approach to performing better on an exam or at workSimple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced student, Discrete Mathematics Demystified is your integral tool for mastering this complex subject.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is good for those who need a little extra help when taking their discrete math course. The book provides practice problems and a final for review. One can use this book along side his textbook and do fine. I highly recommend you to talk with your professor about any doubts about how to write a proof that is in the book. He/she should be able to share with you on how to do it correctly. The book provides good information for the money. I would highly recommend

⭐. Schaum’s Outline is more concise and much smaller and great for a quick reference. I hope this review helps!

⭐Pretty good examples, but the binding on the book is REALLY bad, every page I turn to comes right off the book because the glue won’t stick to the pages.

⭐I purchased a few Discrete Mathematics textbooks and study aides because my assigned one (Goodaire and Parmenter 3e) was, quite frankly, incomprehensible. I have in addition to the one I mentioned the Rosen and the Epp, both of which are much better, though none of them are light reading.I also purchased several study aids for kindle such as Discrete Mathematics Demystified, 2000 solved problems in Discrete Mathematics and Math for Computer Applications. I also bought the significantly less popular textbook by Babu Ram, which I’m finding to be the easiest textbook to read out of the four textbooksOf the study Aids I found 2000 Solved problems the most useful (oftentimes textbooks kind of leave you hanging for problem sets), followed by Math for Computer Applications. I think you should buy a print version of the latter though as the kindle version frequently cuts off graphs on the right and the conversion to digital is occasionally dodgy. The 2000 Solved problems also has this, but much, much less often, so I’d still recommend the digital of that.Somewhat recommended, though I’d get several other study aids before it.

⭐I’m currently taking a Discrete math course at a 4 year college and if all I had to rely on was this book I would not be passing the course!It should be renamed the history of discrete math demystified. The author provides a lot of history of the people behind the math and interesting math curiosities but fails to cover things like Karnaugh map’s which was on my last test.This book should be used more as a supplement for such a math course or those interested in the history of discrete math.Oh and the chapter on matrices was really good compared to the rest so the treatment of topics is very uneven and haphazard.Finally, the few exercises it has are very weak.

⭐I read this book for some fun reading. It touches lightly on many topics. There is nothing difficult in this book for even an interested high school student. I would not purchase this book if I was serious about learning discrete mathematics.

⭐This book makes an admirable attempt to cover a broad range of topics in the field of discrete mathematics. Unfortunately, it does not serve the purpose of a self-teaching guide. I have two main problems with the book. 1) It does not cover material in a simplified, clear manner, many times making the material more confusing. 2) The book contains multiple errors. Simple errors, such as typos could be overlooked or excused, but this book contains fundamental errors. In some instances, the answers provided in the back of the book do not match the question or are mathematically incorrect. In other instances, the material in the chapter is misleading or even incorrect. Even some fundamental axioms are in error, e.g., axiom 7 in Chapter 11 on Boolean algebra.The only time I would recommend this book is to people who have already learned Discrete Mathematics and are looking for a review. The errors and unclear language only serve to make the topic more confusing. This feels like a book written by a mathematician for mathematicians, not for beginners or people looking to teach themselves discrete mathematics.

⭐The topic coverage is satisfactory and the concepts are well explained. However, the excercises are negligently assembled: some demand knowledge which is covered in the following chapter; the answers to others don’t match the exercise. This book is intended for beginners, yet the beginners, unfamiliar with basic concepts, will end up thoroughly confused and frustrated.

⭐I was hoping this would deMYSTIFY this subject for me, but unfortunately I found it be difficult to read. The author seems to forget that their audience is probably struggling with the concepts and don’t have phDs in the subject.

⭐Found some parts of book useful and helpful.

⭐Great book, it helped my studies in University.

⭐Content is OK. Explanations of proofs could be better, but main issue is inability to read symbols on my Nexus 6P using Kindle software. Can’t magnify them.

⭐Fantastic explinations, a bit lacking in practice excersises.
