'Professor Mohan Shrikhande, University of Michigan, A well known definition says that a textbook is a book such that everybody thinks he can write a better one. Biggs' Discrete Mathematics is an exception - not only for its wide range of topics and its clear organization but notably for its excellent style of explanation., '"the comprehensive course of discrete mathematics" 'L'Enseignement Mathematique, t.36, fasc.1-2, 1990, This is a new edition of a successful textbook ... this revision is particularly welcome ... The text is written in a fluent but rigorous style and should appeal to sixthformers and undergraduates who are alienated by more formal presentations. There are plenty of approachable exercises, ranging from easy riders to establish technique to more challenging problems which introduce new ideas, and a bonus is that all the answers are available on a companion web-site. I can thoroughly recommend this text., 'For the Second Edition:"... it is a wonderful book. Biggs' expository style is of the highest quality." 'Professor James Reid, University of Mississippi

a necessity if you are struggling with discrete maths
This book is so simple to read and understand, that you will be surprised how easy it makes maths seem. It starts from trivial definitions and it helps you to grow a discrete-thinking, a necessity for solving problems and finding proofs. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning discrete mathematics.
