This book is a concise, self-contained, up-to-date introduction to extremal combinatorics for nonspecialists. There is a strong emphasis on theorems with particularly elegant and informative proofs, they may be called gems of the theory. The author presents a wide spectrum of the most powerful combinatorial tools together with impressive applications in computer science: methods of extremal set theory, the linear algebra method, the probabilistic method, and fragments of Ramsey theory. No special knowledge in combinatorics or computer science is assumed - the text is self-contained and the proofs can be enjoyed by undergraduate students in mathematics and computer science. Over ...

Reviews for Extremal Combinatorics: With Applications in Computer Science
From the reviews of the second edition: This is an entertaining and impressive book. I say impressive because the author managed to cover a very large part of combinatorics in 27 short chapters, without assuming any graduate-level knowledge of the material. ... The collection of topics covered is another big advantage of the book. ... The ... Read more
