More books
Not only I'm getting older, but I'm getting nerdier :-) I just got my copy of Rosen's Discrete Mathematics and its Applications.
It's usually expensive (Amazon has it for $149!) but I got an used copy for $3.94 plus 9.79 for shipping), not bad isn't it? If you haven't tried, I really recommend buying used books at amazon. The prices are usually terrific and you can find brand new books.
The reason I got this book is because I was watching a few lectures of ArsDigita University on discrete mathematics and got hooked. And since I don't have a proper mathematical background, it's always good to me to learn more.
If you don't know ArsDigita University stop reading this and go fast here. They had the following courses and many of them are available online on video:
- Math for Computer Science - Tara Holm
- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - Holly Yanco
- Discrete Math - Shai Simonson
- How Computers Work - Gill Pratt
- Object-oriented Program Design - David Goddeau
- Algorithms - Shai Simonson
- Systems - Luis Rodriguez
- Web Applications - Philip Greenspun
- Theory of Computation - Shai Simonson
- Artificial Intelligence - Patrick Winston
- Unix Workshop
- Database Management Systems - Ravi Jasuja
- Applied Probability - Tina Kapur
