First look at a discrete mathematics textbook.

It's easy, don't worry.

Take Epp's textbook, it's easy and enjoyable as fuck.

Recommend me a good intermediate level discrete math textbook, please.

It's shit easy. A child could do it. I guess my view is biased though, because the DM-class I took barely touched on any of the difficult stuff.

lol can't tell this actually means this was useful or not.
i hope it was useful tho anon

thanks bud that's great

>>7763479
keep in mind it that cs70 may neglect some discrete math topics (ie relational operators, just off the top of my head) and covers other stuff like RSA which probably isn't needed
good luck, discrete math is tough for sure but it is really cool

always enjoy these shitposts. guy is obviously an undergrad and you're suggesting he read several extremely specific textbooks most likely written at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level.

This is my discrete math book for this semester. Not even sure how I should feel about this.

>suggesting he read several extremely specific textbooks

If you want to learn these topics then you have to.

>advanced undergraduate level

Heavens forbid undergrads have to read books at the undergrad level. Not everyone is a cs major that can take grade school classes for their whole lives.
