Understand Mathematics, Understand Computing Discrete Mathematics That All Computing Students Should Know

“There are a lot of things I like about this book … . The basic concept of the book, the overall structure of the book, and the material presented are all excellent: it deserves a better implementation.” (David J. Littleboy, SIGACT News, Vol. 54 (3), 2023)

“The text is written in an easy to read format which generously incorporates narratives from the history of mathematics as well as rigorous proofs of the concepts presented. The appendices and references to other texts provide the reader with numerous sources of supplementary information for those wishing to delve into a subject at a deeper level … . chapters are organized and clearly labeled to express which sections are appropriate for a beginning learner, an intermediate learner, or the specialist.” (Tom French, MAA Reviews, October 3, 2021)

“Each chapter comes with several exercises from easy to difficult, the latter with complete solutions in the appendix. To accommodate the book to readers with different backgrounds and goals, the authors provide a guide which gives paths through the book for several courses. The exposition is always clear and motivating, no prerequisites are presumed, all terms and concepts are defined precisely, and there are many look-and-see proofs.” (Dieter Riebesehl, zbMATH 1465.68004, 2021)
