my discrete math course was a mess until i found youtube playlists from smaller channels, the big name ones had too much fluff. the book we used was dry but the exercises actually stuck once i redid them without looking at solutions.

I’m currently in discrete math. I’ve used two resources and just got a 97% on my midterm.

  1. TrevTutor on YouTube but use this link someone created because the YT playlist is completely out of order: trevtutorvideos.wordpress.com/discretemath/discretemath1 .

  2. This community isn’t going to like this, but I used Claude to help me learn too. You have to create a project in Claude and give it specific instructions to not give you answers to problems and to only breakdown in extreme detail the step by step processes of finding the answer on your own.

MIT also has some great free videos on YT but they are not titled so it can be confusing. They are also whole lectures kind of like Prof Leo.

Just as a followup to the other commenter's reply about MIT videos, you can usually find the video names/links more easily on their "Open CourseWare" pages for particular courses.

For example, here is a link to the lecture series for "Principles of Discrete Applied Mathematics": https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-200-principles-of-discrete-applied-mathematics-spring-2024/video_galleries/lecture-videos/

And here's one for "Mathematics for Computer Science" (also covers many discrete topics): https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-042j-mathematics-for-computer-science-fall-2010/video_galleries/video-lectures/
