The book was great at explaining more than just the answer, but most of the work involved. Helped me to understand how to approach many of the problems. The catch is that there are only the odd answers in the book. This hit me as a surprise.

This manual only had the odd answers which is the same as the main text book. Was not happy with it.

"A Solution Manual, GREAT!", or so I thought. I must have missed the description that says that this book only contains the solutions to the odd-numbered problems. Wait a minute, doesn't the regular textbook already have the odd-numbered solutions in the back of the book? Yes, it does. So why buy the book? What you are really looking for is the Teacher's Solution Manual, which has solutions to all the problems.

Is this book identical to the solutions given in the back of the regular textbook? Not quite. The back of the regular textbook skips some multi-part problems. For example, a problem could be split up into 5 parts a, b, c, d, e, but the back of the book only has the solutions for a,d,e. Also the back of the book has a habit of saving space by just showing the answer without guidance to how that answer was derived. This solution manual has a little more info than the back of the book, as well as the answers to all subquestions a,b,c,d,e of odd-numbered problems.

If you really struggle with Discrete Math, this manual might come in handy. If you can follow along with the regular textbook just fine, then I don't think you'll get much from this manual except maybe some help on an occasional problem where the back of the regular textbook just doesn't show enough info. For me, the back of the regular textbook works just fine and I have yet to use this manual. It's up to you whether or not spending $20-$30 is worth having something that you may or may not use.

The one handy thing about this manual that I can think of is that flipping to the back of the regular textbook is cumbersome, and having this solution manual gives you a way to have a separate book open to the pages of interest instead of constantly having to flip back on fourth of the much thicker regular textbook.

about 1/2 of the problems are fully worked out which is more than what other solution manuals can say. Don't take discrete math without this solution manual.
