I despise this book
I suppose it depends on who is reviewing it.GarbageNo GoodThe worst text book everMath at its worst
Par Exposition and ExpensiveNastyWhy?This book is as worthless as it is expensiveUgh.Extremely Difficult BookGood for those not very mathematically inclined human beingsAwful!!!"Distastefull" Mathematics
Easy is easy, and hard is hard...one star is way too muchThe last option sounds better and better with every problem I "solve" in this book.
STOP DEFORESTATION DONT PRINT THIS BOOK ANYMORETragically flawed
It is terribly difficult to include/understand and follow this book,
however written by a pioneer in the field. Johnsonbaugh rather simply
presents ideas, change then in the ridiculously difficult evidence
with little or not of explanation for some of its logical jumps. The
result of end is to divert and the text often frustration that, in its
effort to teach the rather difficult topics, fails completely and
completely. It confuses and confuses more often than it explains and
informs. About the only thing that I learned from this book is the
proof that it presupposes...... the book = the refuse of Johnsonbaugh.
Best Discreet Math Book Ever
I do not see why the estimate is so low. This book of maths is
so easy and so frank that you do not need to even go to classify.
Read the chapters, do the work and then go part. No matter who who
dares the rate this bottom, I will show them my differential book of
the geometry. EEK!The most effective and best Discrete Mathematics book
The book of mathematics discrete most effective and best than I found
and used up to now! ! ! I take a principal computer course and it is
my handbook for this course. It is only text of maths which I
honestly appreciated of the beginning until the end. Dr. Johnsonbaugh
easily wrote comprehensible, and remarkably complete, introduction to
discrete mathematics. Covers of this book all the matters of discrete
mathematics that one would await them with In this book the reader
will find matters to extend from logic and evidence, with the
algorithms, the methods and the principle of rack, with the relations
of recurrence, the theory of graph, the trees, the models of network,
the Boolean algebra and the combinative circuits, the automats,
grammars and the languages, and the data-processing geometry. This
book provides you all the materials and reasoning which provide the
strong preparation for data processing. You can employ this book like
handbook, a reference or as delivers art of the car-portrait-study. It
is the most useful book and most effective, which is appropriate to
the readers with various mediums. To employ this book, you do not need
to have data processing, mathematics formal and the things necessary
of calculation. Dr. Johnsonbaugh was always identified so that its
prose which explains concepts complex and abstract with clearness and
the precision, which is particularly sensitive to the needs for the
beginner in maths discrete, and able lucid and accessible
carries you the elementary one at the levels completely avançés in
each matter. There is enough explanation to encourage you to
include/understand what continues behind the mathematical symbols. It
is the discrete book of mathematics more structured, most
comprehensible and pleasant, which provides worked examples, corners
of resolution of the problems, exercises and art of the
car-portrait-tests. All these materials make him a marvellous
experiment to study maths discrete. The book includes more than
500 worked examples, which make the prospect painful for the
maths of study much more pleasant to the taste. The examples and
the explanations are clear, noncharged, and progress well in various
levels. Moreover, the corners of resolution of the problems show that
students how to tackle and solve problems and how with made the
evidence. 3500 exercises, with answers approximately to a third of
them in the back of the book; art of the car-portrait-test with the
answers to all the questions in the back of the book; These exercises
are conceived to examine your arrangement and some problems of
challenge are thrown inside. This type of accessible difficulty in the
problems establishes your confidence and the solutions are a great
help considering that the maths discrete are all about the way
in which you found the answer. As a whole, this excellent, delivers
art of the written car-portrait-contained such as you will
include/understand each page and concept if you have a reasonable
scale of an attention. Dr. Johnsonbaugh made also easy like possible
to you. I highly recommend this book to each one which wants to study
the maths discrete, which will profit your whole career.Worth keeping around, insufficient as a "learn on your own"
I was exposed the first time at this book (third edition) as a grader
for a course which employed the book. Because such I had the lucky
capacity to refer itself to the handbook of the instructor. I read the
book since was necessary to feel as I had an arrangement from from
where the students came, but of since I knew it all before reading it,
for the majority, I did not find it difficult a whole. One of the
advantages of the evaluation for this course was that I obtained to
keep the book. I always have him, 8 years after in date of the period
of this writing, and finds it a convenient reference when I want a
definition easy fast of a certain concept fundamental which I have
forgot a long time how to define because I had worked with this
concept too. I also refer to him when I want to be held behind and see
how a part of the fundamental tie of these concepts inside with one
the other, as book allows that (a little). I always found the
"fraud-sheet" of symbols on the covers of useful interior. They are
not delivers "are taught mathematical discrete". Do not think that it
is. If all is well you have a good instructor. Classify, take notes,
then, with your knowledge of class, go and from test to do some of the
problems, while referring itself to the text when your notes are
insufficient (and noninsufficient because you fell deadened). If
between your notes and memory of class and the text you cannot obtain
it yet, go ask to your professor the assistance. You should be able to
make some cycles of this between when a task is assigned and when it
is due, in any course that this book is employed inside. If you
cannot, it or means that the professor does not grant to you enough
time, or it means that you rather often do not work, or you must take
better notes, or you professor must give more assistance and/or better
conferences. I think that the book is very well. Do not employ to
teach the material (in date of the period of this writing, there were
several bad reviews of the students which seemed to have employed it
as such - perhaps by any defect of their clean, because perhaps the
professor was insufficient while providing to proportioned notes). In
short - employ like reference or in a course where the material of the
book is material additional with the conferences of course.Never waste your money on this book, --;;
We employ this book to learn "from discrete mathematics" this
six-month period. I really cannot imagine why the department of
maths chose this book. The book is in a too diffuse word. It
make a certain simple of concepts, and hard complex to
include/understand. Perhaps Prof.Jonsohnbaugh is, however a good CS
professor, not a good mathematician. In fact its book of O.O.P. out of
C is very good. Do not buy this book unless you are necessary to buy
it while a handbook, --;; likes me, or you think that you are very
week in the maths.Horrible and disappointing waste of time.
This was my text book for an undergraduate class that I took. All examples start extremely simplistically, almost disregarding the application of the concept altogether and immediately turns to extreme scenarios. The Crawl-Walk-Run method is definitely not implemented. The self tests in most chapters do not adhere well to the instruction taken from within the corresponding chapters. It was necessary for the entire class to purchase additional instructional materials in order to even consider negotiating the exam. Do not waste your money on this book.Views of a College Student
This book was used in my discrete mathematics class at the university that I attend. I was very disappointed with this book. It fails to explain how to work the problems in an clear, effective manner. It doesn't teach, it assumes that the student already know how to do most of the aspects of the book.Don't waste your money.
This is a terrible book and the author does not cover any of the topics sufficiently. The homework problems are too hard compared to the examples that he gives. The exercises that he posts the solutions for are the ones that are much easier than the rest, which leaves you with questions for the harder problems.Don't waste your money.

I taught that by using versions earlier of this book, and this still
resembles best. I intend to employ it for a matter course this
summer. I asked to teach the course specifically thus I could employ
this book. With the difference of some other authors, Johnsonbaugh
knows the territory and made research in the sector. It is also large
a expositor and assembled many good exercises. The book can be
employed for several various types of course. Five Holds the first
role!Buy this book for your class then get one you can use.
Was a book required for a course of graduated CS level. Weak
explanations just of approximately each matter. The examples have to
make little with anything. With due obtaining a second discrete book
of mathmatics of the library right to be able to do the work.Die stupid book
This book is a worse then money wasting. I believe that because it I
lost more knowlegde then I gained class. Unfortunately the paper of
ths is with the sharp to be used like paper of toliet. To save your
money and prevent the nondesired pain and eruptions N not buying this
book. Moreover I hold the author of this book personally responsible
for the difficulties that it caused me. They is books as this for
which make drop the Americans out-of-school and the voter end upwards by
ignorance and electing the false people, such as the jimmy Charretier,
in high offices. If it is possible to protest this book thus.
Moreover, if it possible to burn this book thus. If you believe think
of being to me lying test to follow the book by its first chapter
inordinately badly organized on evidence. The section on the indirect
evidences (1.6) only is enough to cause insomnia and for nocer
drinking.Terrible Book !!!!!!!
As a student of graduate in the CS department at Univ of Chicago, this
book was obligatory. He was absolutely a sans.valor for the profit of
knowledge. If you must employ this book, YOU also ENSURE to be
obtained the contour of Schaum for Discete Mathmatics. It was much
more useful and educational. If you are encouraged the money, the
contour of Schaum of 2000 problems is not necessary BUT this contour
is.The worst textbook I have ever encountered
Johnsonbaugh may be an excellent mathematician, but he is a horrid communicator. Explanation of the material is incomplete at best. After muddling through the text on my own, I go to class (and receive a coherent explanation from my professor) and discover that I was wasting hours pulling my hair out over relatively simple concepts. The problem is that this text is so poorly written as to make simple concepts seem incredibly complex and frustrating. Along the same lines, more complex concepts are given short, incomplete explanations, while leaving out important middle steps. Unfortunately, this book is a required text for my class. Fortunately, however, I have a professor who CAN communicate mathematical concepts. If you are looking for a book you can use on your own, keep looking...This is a TERRIBLE textbook
I cannot believe how completely sans.valor this text is. The
university embraces the texts of this author, since he is a full
professor at DePaul. It is the second handbook which I was necessary
to buy for the program of DePaul. Let say this to me - if I must buy
another text of R. Johnsonbaugh, I transfer to the North-West. The
examples of this book are if hidden that will take hours to you to
include/understand simple questions. Once that you rectify by the
lesson, you will note that very often the preparation was nonrelevant
with the exercises. There are answers chosen in the back of the book,
but they are little of assistance since you cannot determine how the
author arrived at the conclusion. This book thus supposes that you can
interpret blathering constant contents in the lessons and the
examples, the author omits several of the average stages in its
evidence like unimportant. Since the presentation or the material is
thus the poor, you are completely wedged because the example does not
provide you sufficiently information to really learn anything. It
would be a thing of the presentation of the material was poor, and the
examples were complete. You obtain neither one here nor the other. I
had many maths, and I fight. What is much more astonishing is
than it is the FOURTH edition of this unhappy text. If you buy this
book, I wish you much chance. You will need it.Save trees -- recycle your copy of this book!
Back when my university adopted this book, it was the only one on the market. We use it for two courses (Discrete Mathematics and Mathematical Structures), however, the professors are abandoning it in favour of another text. The book is absolutely atrocious. Not only is the text as viscous as frozen molasses, but the examples usually have nothing to do with the explanations, and having answers in the back is worthless if you don't know how they were derived. Avoid this book like the plague, and if it's required reading, complain to your professor and the chairperson of the department and tell them to adopt a REAL book!Very Upset
I take a class in discrete mathematics, and I never bought a so
useless handbook. The examples are somewhat nonrelevant with the
material of the texts, the text fallacious and is expressed awkwardly,
implies and the answers to the problems are little and far enters, and
those provided elasticity little more than a response of a-number. The
introduction to this book declares that then, this was one of the only
books available; it shows certainly, because the author did a dreadful
work to provide to proportioned councils and instruction. For example,
the author will include a surprisingly difficult problem, but neither
one nor the other wants passes by a problem of example in the text or
provides an answer, on the basis of the student to stripe his head. It
is not the manner of writing a handbook. Unfortunately, I had to pay
this atrocious book dearly; my professor made him the requested
reading.Discrete Mathematics
I feel with others: it is a discouraging book. It will rather give you
pains than to the knowledge of discrete mathematics. Test other titles
unless it is unfortunately a handbook required.Inconsistent throughout
I'm taking this class from the author of the book and he teaches like the book reads. If you are already experienced in discrete math then you will be okay. If not, you will have a tough time. The author begins with the simplest of examples and then jumps into very difficult ones without much in between. The steps from easy to hard are not explained well and one feels a bit lost (at least I do). The mathematical explanations are not helpful as they are just as confusing as what they are trying to explain. All in all I'd pass this one by if I had the choice, unfortunately I have to read it for my class.mixed quality
some parts of him is good, but there is a good number of muddling
places; certain evidence and explaination took me along like one hour
to the figure that one hour for like 1 paragraph of substance; these
embourbés moments does not start at the end - it starts well at the
beginning - my more memorable embourber of the places are the section
on equivalent relations, the proof of set theory which C(n, K) = C(n -
1, K) C(n - 1, K - 1), that about the number of manners of moving of a
corner of a square grid to the other corner while remaining under the
diagonal; the recursive solution with this same problem; that about
solving the inhomogenous recurring relations (and me has there just on
chapter 5 out of 11 besides - we jumped much of sections in the class)
- it are some minor bottlenecks as well; I know the author did not
employ the best words exactly because I récris my notes and I think
that I employed better wordingsThe book is very inconsistent.
After by using the book for my discrete first and second half of the
year of the maths, I found it to be of lower quality. It
provides information excessively detailed in the chapters first,
commutates then not to almost provide any help of the whole for the 4
to 5 remaining chapters. Without good professor, is lost by using this
book.A difficult book to understand.
This discrete math book is definately not for beginners. I took 1 yr. of calculus and I had a very difficult time understanding some topics. The author fails to explain the "whys" in later chapters and he uses too much mathematical notications instead of explaining them in common english.
