Recenzii

“This book is … an encyclopedic overview of topics of and related to discrete mathematics in the broad sense, including many topics from computer science and software engineering. … Each chapter has a summary and a list of review question which help the reader to recapitulate the contents … . for each topic the reader is able to grasp the specific flavor and can move forward to more specific and advanced literature.” (Dieter Riebesehl, zbMATH 1358.68004, 2017)
