The book is centered around the research areas of combinatorics, special functions, and computer algebra. What these research fields share is that many of their outstanding results do not only have applications in Mathematics, but also other disciplines, such as computer science…
This beautiful book is about how to estimate large quantities--and why. Building on nothing more than first-year calculus, it goes all the way into deep asymptotical methods and shows how these can be used to solve problems in number theory, combinatorics, probability, and geome…
"Asymptotics in one form or another are part of the landscape for every mathematician. The objective of this book is to present the ideas of how to approach asymptotic problems that arise in discrete mathematics, analysis of algorithms, and number theory. A broad range of topics…
