Susanna Epp's DISCRETE MATHEMATICS, THIRD EDITION provides a clear introduction to discrete mathematics. Renowned for her lucid, accessible prose, Epp explains complex, abstract concepts with clarity and precision. This book presents not only the major themes of discrete mathematics, but also the reasoning that underlies mathematical thought. Students develop the ability to think abstractly as they study the ideas of logic and proof. While learning about such concepts as logic circuits and computer addition, algorithm analysis, recursive thinking, computability, automata, cryptography, and combinatorics, students discover that the ideas of discrete mathematics underlie and are essential to the science and technology of the computer age. Overall, Epp's emphasis on reasoning provides students with a strong foundation for computer science and upper-level mathematics courses.

Summary: Pigeon Book Review
Comment: I bought Discrete Mathematics With Applications from Pigeons Books and I was very pleased. The book was in excellent condition, just as listed. It looked nearly new. The seller was very quick in returning my e-mails and was very truthful and informative about the product. He also worked well with my requests and shipping was very prompt. It was mailed the next day and I received the product within 5 days of purchase. Definitely recommend this seller and his products.

Summary: Terrible Book
Comment: I have taken many courses in digital electronics and in programming so I know logic well. The author of this book explains logic from a complex mathematical standpoint. The author takes a very simple concept, (and I mean a VERY simple concept) and makes it difficult. The logical statements are neither presented in a standard logic format or in a standard programming format. The author creates her own "made up" format for every logical statement and makes a mess of the subject altogether. The book is terrible! I can not for the life of me understand why ANY professor would choose this book. It could only make teaching more difficult.

Summary: Before you buy
Comment: Hello all,
Just like many reviewers, I give this book 5 stars, why? First of all I am a senior
majoring CSE and I hate all college text books. This book is an exception. The first three chapters is introduction to logics nothing much. From chapter four on the good stuff starts, induction, set theory, recursion, representations, and more. The book has lots of examples and exercises, also the answers to selected exercise are on the back of the book, (not just answers also the work). Above all this book is really good but before you buy it hear this:
/***********************************************************************************
I wouldn't recommend that you buy this book why? Because the second edition
is same as this book, the only difference is the cover Image and the exercise
problems. So copy the homework problems from the copy at your college's library
and use the second edition as a reference. Also the second edition costs only $5.0
or less
**********************************************************************************/
Thank you and good luck
cheers
