Concrete Mathematics - Book review

Behold, now this is some classic! Math is part of our everyday life and that is especially true for programmers. Some folks believe that math is tough subject and it doesn't worth the effort. Of course you can use your calculator or some built-in math functions but sometime you have to go deeper than that!
Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science
This book is here to guide you through your journey into the best parts of continuous and discrete mathematics. Donald Knuth himself took a great part of writing this book!


This book teaches you how to:

• Solve sums
• Solve recurrent equations
• Compute binomial coefficients
• Analyze algorithms

   After finishing this book you will know what mathematical induction is, different techniques for solving recurrent equations, thousands of ways to approach your next problem and tons more! 

   In addition, while any reasonably intelligent mathematics student can learn the topics covered in this book, it is written by three master programmers and discrete mathematicians and inevitably also contains enough to challenge just about anyone ,even them!
