Jim, THANK YOU You are taking it further than most of the high schools were 20 years ago. It was incredibly rewarding when I could assist an epiphany, such as that arithmetic could be done IN binary/hex/octal, WITHOUT conversion to decimal/arithmetic/conversion back! California mandated "Com

Hey Cindy Just to add to the good suggestions already given here I’d suggest looking on Craigs List. Typically there are some good (starving) grad students that do tutoring on the side. Kirk Sent from my iPad > On Oct 12, 2020, at 8:14 AM, Cindy Croxton via cctalk > wrote: > > If anyone h

I agree with the others: go look for other textbooks. There are also surprisingly good "webinar's" on various math related topics on YouTube (free), so it might be worthwhile to have him do a bit of searching. Oddly, I never had any discrete math courses in school...it was "old school EE" so ever

If the textbook isn't working for him, . . . 1) Look at OTHER textbooks on the subject. There is even a Schaum's "made easy , "Outline Of Discrete Math" by Lipschutz. The title promises more than it can deliver, but it might help get through some of the more troublesome sections. 2) Seek out

If anyone has spare time, and is familiar with discrete mathematics, I have a friend who is a young college kid and desperately needs a tutor. His prof just says to read the book, and take online quizzes. He is failing. If you can help, please email me. He is in Delaware. -- Cindy Croxton Elec
