The long-awaited second edition ofNorman Bigg's best-selling Discrete Mathematics, includes new chapters on statements and proof, logical framework, natural numbers, and the integers, in addition to updated chapters from the previous edition. Carefully structured, coherent and c…
"This text offers an intuitive presentation to remove barriers to further study. The book will work through lattice path problems, where the more difficult points are combinatorial and build up to the more fine points of technique. The first half is more combinatorial, and works…
An overview of all enumerative combinatorics within reach of undergraduates; the two fundamental themes of bijective proofs and generating functions, together with their intimate connections, recur constantly. A wide selection of topics, including several never appearing before …
This textbook describes the combinatorial analysis of data using trees as the model. It explores the applications of this technique in such fields as computer science, decision theory, artificial intelligence, information theory and the social sciences.
"Richard Stanley's two-volume basic introduction to enumerative combinatorics has become the standard guide to the topic for students and experts alike. This thoroughly revised second edition of Volume 1 includes ten new sections and more than 300 new exercises, most with soluti…
