Customer Reviews

A useful quick primer
Schaum's Outlines are never going to be classics, but they are sound, inexpensive and good value. Despite having an extensive library of other mathematics texts, I often come back to Schaum's for the worked-out solutions of problems.

In my work I often meet software engineers who started out in other disciplines and have had very little exposure to the parts of discrete mathematics that are useful in software engineering. I normally suggest that they use this Schaum's Outline of Discrete Mathematics as a quick primer. So far there have been no complaints!

Not for beginners
We use this book at University as part of a Computer Science degree. Having worked as a software developer for 15 years prior to studying I guess I fall into the category of someone with little exposure to mathematics so was hoping this would be a good primer. Unfortunately it's written assuming you have a very sound background in mathematics and as a result much of it is inaccessible as it has a very academic rather than practical approach. On the positive side it is cheap for an academic book and if you know the subject already it's probably very handy.
