Hello,

I'm looking for a decent Discrete Mathematics book..

Well,
- Discrete Mathematics & Its Applications.
- Discrete Mathematics With Its Applications.

Are the top-sellers and the top-rated books @ Amazon on this field.

Has anyone read any of them? Recommendations? Pros & Cons? I'm currently confused by the many reviews I've read and not sure which one to go for!

Why do you want such a book?

Are you planning to write a computer program? In that case, you might want to look at "Numerical Recipes". It includes background and source code for the most common numerical mathematics problems.

I have never read those two books you mention, so I cannot say if they are good or bad.
