Description for Difference Sets: Connecting Algebra, Combinatorics, and Geometry (Student Mathematical Library)
Paperback. Series: Student Mathematical Library. Num Pages: 298 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: PBV. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). .
Difference sets belong both to group theory and to combinatorics. Studying them requires tools from geometry, number theory, and representation theory. This book lays a foundation for these topics, including a primer on representations and characters of finite groups. It makes the research literature on difference sets accessible to students who have studied linear algebra and abstract algebra, and it prepares them to do their own research. This text is suitable for an undergraduate capstone course, since it illuminates the many links among topics that the students have already studied. To this end, almost every chapter ends with a coda ... Read more

Reviews for Difference Sets: Connecting Algebra, Combinatorics, and Geometry (Student Mathematical Library)
This is one among the beautiful books on the subject of difference sets that I came across in the field of mathematics and especially in combinatorics because of its lucid style and simplicity...The present book overviews these subjects if not exhaustively but impressively with required theorems sometimes with full proofs and sometimes with comprehensive explanations and required examples. By the ... Read more
