Title: Read this only if your discrete math is current
Product review: I picked up this book because I like Java and it looked like it would be easy to understand but still concise. I was wrong. It is too terse. There is not enough explanation unless you already understand the subject and/or know a lot about set theory and notation. Unless your knowledge of discrete math is quite strong, I can't say that I recommend it. Instead, I would recommend Compilers, Principles, Techniques, and Tools by Alfred Aho. It is much easier to read than Mr. Appel's book.
