Book Reviews

"Discrete Mathematics is adequately written and well-documented....

This book presents the material on the topic in a cogently coherent manner thereby serving and justifying the purpose of writing books such as this one. The classroom-tested pedagogy and its 400 examples speak a lot about the kind and amount of sweat that must have gone into it."—zbMATH Open
