University Level material

I have used this textbook when delivering a second year University class on this topic and found that the thorough coverage of the topics was appreciated by my students. Even more important to them was the large number of examples that are presented, in detail, throughout the text.This is a University Level textbook, not a Study Guide, and respects the reader's intellectual maturity by preparing them for subsequent classes. The perception of "density" implies that it is best taken with a liberal dose of classroom instruction - not many students seem to intuitively grasp discrete mathematics and learn the material wholly on their own. I know that I certainly did not when I was an undergrad!For students who feel that the material is difficult, I always suggest using the library for another point of view. I also recommend the Schaum's Outline for Discrete Mathematics as a companion if the student is having significant difficulty with the concepts.Obviously, I like the book, so why not a 5? Unfortunately, I don't know of any books that I would grant a 5 - the authors can always do something better :-)
