Discrete Mathematics: Mathematical Reasoning and Proof with Puzzles, Patterns, and Games 1st Edition

The Discrete Mathematics: Mathematical Reasoning and Proof with Puzzles, Patterns, and Games 1st Edition book receives mixed reviews from customers. On the positive side, the physical quality of the book is praised, with no issues reported with the binding or other aspects of its Construction. However, the content of the book receives criticism. One reviewer points out that the author violates the basic principles of discrete math grammar by using inappropriate terminology such as "obviously" and "expected." The lack of proper definitions and logical structure in the book is also noted, making it difficult for readers to follow and understand the material. The book is described as starting off with a ten-step card game and providing minimal definitions, lacking the logical structure needed for a formal proof. The examples and descriptions are said to be inadequate in helping readers understand concepts and learn from the book. Despite these criticisms, there are some positives mentioned, such as the presence of good figures and key theory headers, which can be helpful. Customers who have had difficulty understanding their teacher's explanations find this textbook valuable. In addition to the content concerns, there are multiple complaints about the incorrect product being delivered. Some customers ordered the paperback edition only to receive the solutions manual instead, leading to disappointment and frustration. Overall, the Discrete Mathematics: Mathematical Reasoning and Proof with Puzzles, Patterns, and Games 1st Edition book receives mixed feedback, with concerns about the content and issues with accurate product descriptions.
