Discrete Mathematics for Beginners

[@sEvan_el_Evan]

“Give it a whiff here” that was funny. Why do books smell so good it’s a good scent

[@markborz7000]

Balakrishnan also wrote Schaum's Graph theory and Schaum's Combinatorics. Great books!

[@booky8391]

I’ve own this book for a couple of years now and was a great help in my Discrete Mathematics course in University!

[@bhaskarojha9482]

i think you should make tier list/iceberg style video of books comparing their rigor & depth, difficulty of exercises , level of abstraction , advancement & prerequisites (all the different field they combine )

[@FabiansLab]

I came here for lin diff eq help, stayed for the newer videos. The best teacher I've ever seen, a true wizard of the arcane greek symbols

[@calminacrisis126]

I bought this to help me with Discrete Math (CS) this semester. It is a very difficult course and this book has been a decent supplement as he says. It has not covered all of the topics we have gone through. It is reasonably helpful for set theory and such. Just a hard class in general, glad you said that!

[@asterialumin_2030]

hello, the math sorcerer! could you please make a video on your math journey and how you started and what inspired you? and what was a book or any other resource that helped you in your journey. And if to a beginner you could give any one advice that would help them get started on math, what would it be? Thank you so much for your amazing videos and reading this. Regards, Mary Potter

[@StaticBlaster]

I hope he responds to this

[@bradleybeauclair8282]

I have this book and it's a perfect example of that Dover maths books problem. It teaches you the set theory that you need to know in the first chapter. The second chapters may or may not use some of it. Then by chapter 3, or usually chapter 2, it abandons the set theory that it taught you. It doesnt actually connect the set theory from chapter 1 to the rest of the maths. I do like chapter 1 in this book, if you're really looking into understanding set theory to construct a foundation for your proofs. The rest of the material is better learned from a textbook.

Bedtime reading? I thought the bed was for just to things: sleeping and multiplying (but not of the mathematical type).

[@StaticBlaster]

lol

[@Vegeta_ble441]

Thats a good one 💀

[@ramseydoon8277]

Why did you think that?

[@StaticBlaster]

@@ramseydoon8277 it's a joke

[@Agent-cipher-6120]

I literally just see this in the bookstore in my uni! Going to pick it up tmr

[@loveloreal]

I love the one that you presented in another video. I love discrete math. It helped me understand math in general

[@atz6212]

Hey, I would love to see a video focusing on the essential pure mathematics every developer should know, covering topics applicable from front-end to back-end, and even AI. It would be awesome if you could break down the key areas like discrete math, linear algebra, calculus, and statistics, and show how they directly apply to real-world programming tasks. Whether it's optimizing algorithms, understanding data structures, or diving into machine learning, I think this would be super valuable for both aspiring and experienced developers. Looking forward to it!

[@jkang471]

Hi I always enjoy watching your book review. One suggestion When you review a book, please consider including comments why the subject is useful. For example, why and how discrete math is something we have to study.

[@damirgabitov257]

My favourite books on Discrete Mathematics are Kenneth Rossen "Discrete Mathematics" and Grimaldi "Combinatorial and Discrete Mathematics". I didn't read whole book of Grimaldi, because I read K.Rosen, but I read Grimaldi's very good chapter about Generative Functions. As I remember, K.Rosen's book hasn't chapters about Generative Functions.

[@pashaw8380]

Hi Dr. Gabilondo, would you be so kind as to share more about your college math journey with us? As an audience I would like to know a little bit about your academic experience and what area you worked on during your PhD in math.

[@engsherif4657]

Im engineer the mathmatics is my life im not can imaganary the life without math great thanks from egypt

[@kb0qhg]

I thoroughly enjoy the book recommendations and reviews, however, I’d appreciate if in your reviews, you’d explain prerequisites for those of us who are self studying without a university defining a path. Please keep on with your great content.

[@mlliarm]

Pretty nice book. It has a lot of content for its size !

[@AverageYoutuber6615]

The one by epp is wayyyy more easier to read !!! I bought that book for about 120$ it was expensive didn’t think would enjoy it but it’s so much more better than the one by balakrishnan

[@SPIRITEN25559]

Can you please make a video to all types if mathematics and what they are? It feels like there are so much types, nbdy heard of.

[@vincentzevecke4578]

I had this book, however, I lost it, however, i.will get it back soon. I like this book. I recommended read this book slowly.

[@clen9870]

I aim to study discrete math one day, but what are the prerequisites? Do you have a course on this subject?

[@jasonm9825]

Please review the Epp. Book?

[@ananthakrishnank3208]

Does the book cover partial orders and lattices. Monoids, Groups? These things are also supposedly part of the discrete mathematics.

[@allenofatlanta]

OK, Math Sorcerer, I'll bite regarding the comment that you made about " You have to think differently about probability. " Since I am interested in statistical analysis ( operations research), how should I develop my mind to solve problems?

[@anubhabbhattacharjee476]

I studied this book combining with DB west graph theory in my University days

[@mindfulawareness1]

Bedtime reading. I am full of admiration.

[@terencemeikle534]

Chapter ZERO. Now that is cool! 😮

[@WDB705]

I was loaned a algebra book. I think the title was Programmed Algebra. It was a very simple. The format was 1+1+1. Have you every seen a book or algebra taught this way. I can not find this book. If you have or know please let me know in the comments.

[@Rorablink]

Math books gives a special feeling.

[@juggernautknight2749]

Hey Math Sorcerer, are you going to publish discrete math or linear algebra lessons on Udemy? I really enjoyed your Calculus courses!

[@TheOnlyName]

I had to take this class for my IT major, despite there being no prerequisite it got so hard for me that I had to drop it :/

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Yeah it’s a tough class, discrete math even with pre reqs is hard!

[@StaticBlaster]

I ordered Epp's book and Book of Proof.

[@xyzct]

Can't beat the price!

[@JakeMGolle]

Give us the discrete maths course

[@jarupbg]

Wish I had you during my graduation days.. Now I have restarted my math journey..

[@victornecromancer]

I wonder how it's like to have your bedtime reading to be a math book . Until now, i only thought of reading them when it's study time

[@Andrumen01]

Sounds like a good read.

[@Professor_Giggles]

Looked up discrete structures for dummies and ended up here. 😢

[@Comp0111]

hv this one !

[@blakegundry]

I have my discrete final tomorrow 😂

[@noJobProgrammer]

But why did you switched completely to math ? the salary for software developers is much more attractive

[@kuldeepsingh22760]

He is an Indian author 😂

You must be proud man Why laughing.

[@robertovolpi]

Wow, I would have never imagined that! Thanks for sharing.

[@samindr5703]

What's your problem

[@eskay1891]

True, but i never seen other nationalities yelling every time they see one. Is the bar so low for india.

[@samindr5703]

@@eskay1891 we have two sets of people In the country, The one who are super patriotic, and seek every opportunity they get to show their proudness And the other who supress every good thing coming out of the country, they don't accept that the country has done many good things too Eventually both of them end up talking about the country even if it's not needed These are pretty much effects of colonialism

[@vinaykumarsingh5360]

How is it compare to Rosen??
