I have also tried reading Rosen's textbook, which I found much more approachable. (problems tended to be easier, relatively easy to read the textbook, etc) My only issue is the shear volume of chapters and problems, making it difficult to figure out what to learn in a reasonable time.

I'm giving myself five months to learn introductory discrete mathematics. What is a good online course that I can take? I am willing and able to pay for a course.

Thanks in advance for the help.","time":1527440318,"title":"Ask HN: Any good online Discrete Mathematics courses?","type":"story"}],[17037658,{"by":"MiriamWeiner","descendants":10,"id":17037658,"kids":[17038407,17038410,17039256,17038212,17041973,17040814,17038170],"score":67,"time":1525948094,"title":"Switzerland's valley of the cable cars","type":"story","url":"http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20180509-switzerlands-valley-of-the-cable-cars"}],[17031609,{"by":"DDerTyp","descendants":95,"id":17031609,"kids":[17031874,17032064,17032210,17032388,17036116,17032583,17032345,17032052,17032261,17032115,17031880,17032171,17033368,17032254,17032194,17082822,17032470,17032091,17032459,17032237,17032205,17032270,17031953,17052655,17036822,17034843,17032350,17031978,17032621,17035579,17032050,17032925,17034365,17032216,17037496,17032731,17037265,17032702,17031879,17036419,17033007,17032296,17032039,17036337,17039417,17034700],"score":216,"time":1525885881,"title":"Ask HN: Books you should have read when you start a career in SE / CS?","type":"story"}]]
