Ma'am you're actually a life saver, I'm really blessed that i found your channel, i was searching for a proper chanel for discreet mathematics for the past hour and i found yours, im really greatfull for everything you do, thank you

Your channel is a goldmine! I am using the exact same textbook by Rosen, but I find it a bit difficult to understand it sometimes. Your channel covers almost everything from that textbook so I am grateful for that.

hi, is it possible to formulate an obvious difference between notions of "recurrent" and "recursive" ? thanks.

Does this video apply to 8.1.1 in Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications, Eighth Edition or another textbook??
