Discrete Concrete Math: Foundation for CS | Graham, Knuth, Patashnik

Click For Summary
"Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science" by Ronald Graham, Donald Knuth, and Oren Patashnik is highlighted as a significant resource for undergraduate students, particularly those with a background in calculus. The discussion notes a common observation that many discrete mathematics textbooks tend to adopt a low-key tone, which may affect engagement and comprehension. The book's relevance and potential benefits for students revisiting discrete math concepts are emphasized, suggesting it could be a valuable resource for both learning and reference in the field of computer science.

I haven't looked at this book in ages. Maybe I should. Is it me or are all discrete math books have a low-key tone to them?
 
i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
