From the reviews:
"The goal of this book is to use the introduction to discrete mathematics … . Consequently, the authors … take a lot of time to explain proof techniques and to motivate definitions and style. The language is very informal and easy to read. The level is always introductory which makes it possible to give a taste of a wide range of topics … . There are a lot of exercises … which makes it perfectly suitable for self-study. " (T. Eisenkölbl, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 144 (2), 2005)
"The book is aimed at undergraduate mathematics and computer science students interested in developing a feeling for what mathematics is all about, where mathematics can be helpful, and what kinds of questions mathematicians work on. The authors discuss a number of selected results and methods of discrete mathematics … . Wherever possible, the authors use proofs and problem solving to help students understand the solutions to problems. In addition, there are numerous examples, figures, and exercises spread throughout the book. " (Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik, January, 2004)
"This book is an excellent introduction to a lot of problems of discrete mathematics. … The authors discuss a number of selected results and methods, mostly from the areas of combinatorics and graph theory … . This book is appealed to a broad range of readers, including students and post-graduate students, teachers of mathematics, mathematical amateurs. The authors use proofs and problem solving to help students understand the solutions to problems. In addition, there are numerous examples, figures and exercises spread throughout the book.
