 Used with 2 courses October 18, 2004

I took a two course (quarter system) undergarduate sequence spanning 20 weeks of instruction that used this text. I had different professors for each quarter (the author teaching the second semester).
I found the text excellent, making the study interesting, enjoyable, and quite easy. The fact that the author taught the second quarter made no difference; the text stands well on its own.
I am currently teaching at a technical college and am recommending this text for adoption.
Great book January 3, 2007

Wow, this is a great book. I bought this book as a secondary helper book to a really bad math textbook and this book helped me tons. It only seemed to help during the first half of the semester because by the end it wasn't covering the same material as the class was. But it covered the material that it did really really well.
It also has really good problems with good solutions that explain what's going on. Something that so many other math books seem to lack on Discrete math. Just a great book.
well-written book w/ enough mathematical rigor June 9, 2004

This book is very accessible. Although the myriad examples and descriptions keep the main points hidden a few times, this book is great for self study--something to consider if you have a bad teacher.
Perfect book for its purpose September 16, 2007

This book serves as a terrific introduction to concepts which are of paramount importance in upper-level math courses, most notably Probability Theory, Real Analysis, and Abstract Algebra. Moreover, it provides a solid basis for computer science majors who wish to write more logically sound and efficient programs. I regularly referred back to this in my Real Analysis and Probability courses, and I imagine others would do the same. Also, Dr. Epp's clear, conversational style doesn't hurt the student's confidence later in more rigorous academic enterprises, as well as a concise layout and reasonable pace. Highly recommended.

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
