2000 Solved Problems in Discrete Mathematics 1st Edition

I took a discrete math class in graduate school and purchased this book as a supplement to my lectures and regular textbook. I would spend hours in the local library, cooped up with this book and doing the practice problems, before each exam.It was thanks to this book that I got the grade I wanted in my class. (If you're wondering, I got a B in the class, but I would have gotten a B- or lower without this book).Can't recommend it enough!

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.Highly recommended for all Discrete Mathematics students.

Practice makes perfect. If you're looking to practice what you're learning in class, or prepare for a test, this book is for you. I used it to brush up on some math for the GRE. It was exactly what I was looking for (and...I only paid $6 for it!).I would buy this again.-MrNetTek

This is a great book. I found it very helpful when trying to grasp an in depth understanding of this material. This of course is no replacement for a standard text book, but the combination of this guide and a text book will be greatly beneficial. This is due to fact that the explanations are somewhat limited in the guide and the examples are limited in the text book.

This book is more than just a bunch of math problems with answers. It is also instructive. Within each topic, the questions progress so as to build up your ability to handle more complex problems. Some sections begin with brief definitions. Some present theorems or lemmas, following by the proofs. I needed to prepare for an doctoral prelim. exam in discrete mathematics. This book, along with Schaum's Easy Outline: Discrete Mathematics, got me through.

I have no idea why the only reviewer (before me) gave this book a one star rating. Perhaps he was confused because it is not intended to explain discrete mathematics, rather it's intended to be a companion to a traditional discrete mathematics textbook. As a source of hundreds of solved problems it is absolutely invaluable. If you want extra practice or the examples in your class's textbook aren't enough, buy this.

Excellent book. I recommend it to anyone studying Computer Science Discrete Mathematics.

There are more than a few reviewers who miss the point: this is not a primary teaching text, it is a supplement. That said, you can learn a lot about the topic by reading this book first and solving the problems.My chief concern is NOT the place that this book fills in the curriculum, rather, it is the large number of errors in the answers. I'm half way through and this book, along that dimension, has fundamentally lost my trust. Many people complain about multiple-edition books, but that probably allows the publisher to get the bugs out. Not so for this text, which is quite old.I do NOT recommend its purchase. Buy a book without the bugs.

This is exactly what I expected: 2000 solved problems. The book is well structured and every section leads you from the very beginning (i.e. very easy problems/solutions) to more complex variations. If you add this book to the theory you are familiar with, the results will be very good.

A very nice compilation of math problems concerning discrete mathematics . Useful for various exams and regular math courses concerning college and university levels . A must have and must read for every mathematics student , teacher and researcher in mathematics . Highly recommended for Personal , School , College and University libraries .

Amazing book, really prepared me for my exams
