Negative Positive
Title: Poorly written
Review: The author is so busy showing us (the readers) that he knows the math and the methods that he forgot to show us how to understand and do the work on our own. Definitions and terms are haphazardly thrown out onto the page with little example or poor explanation, further overwhelming the confused reader. This book is VERY overpriced for what you get.If you must take a discrete math class that requires this book:* Consider taking an intro to logic class beforehand- This book presents somewhat confusing arguments and provides convoluted examples of evaluating validity* Expect to look up terms often- keep your laptop handy* You may need a companion book to provide some background and coherent examples of methods (I've been using Ones and Zeros by J. Gregg, ISBN-13: 978-0780334267)
