on “Ask HN: Older textbooks/papers you consider classics still worth studying today?” ↗…it was a lot of very non-technical people who struggled with intro algebra, and consequently struggled with formal logic. (Predicate logic was the focus of the third section of the course later on.) Discrete Mathematical Structures was a math/cs course, where almost every student was a CS major, so it was predominantly technically-minded people for whom formal logic was at least very familiar, if not natural.
