I am taking a discrete math course as a non-degree student and just found this text today. We are using Rosen's book in class, but I must say that this free text does a much better job of giving you the intuition behind what you are doing.

Last month I quit my banking job of 5 years to focus full-time on learning computer science. I went from skilled professional to absolute beginner. Way out of my element, but I am growing and building and having a ton of fun.
