terrible book
I keep thinking as I'm forced to use this book for a college course, that Discrete Math would not be so confusing to me if not for this textbook. With a good textbook, I believe the concepts would not be very difficult, but this book makes them so. True, they have many examples - very few of which cover the complex things you are then asked to do in the Exercises. If I could give it negative stars, I would, since it doesn't teach us but confuses us.

One of the worst math books I have ever used
I had a very strong mathematical background coming into college, and it's a good thing I did. This book managed to take concepts I understood very well coming into my discrete math class and make them confusing. The examples are not well explained and the text itself is very unintuitive. I just ended up skipping the reading and doing the problems. If you have any sort of discrete math experience, don't bother with this book. If you don't, try to find something better.

Worst math book on the planet!
This is the worst math book I have ever encountered. I had to buy it for my Discrete math class. The examples are vague and and leave you wondering how the solution was reached. Ross & Wright should be banned from writing math books. Don't waste your money on this book. I absolutely hate it!
