Description for How to Count: An Introduction to Combinatorics and Its Applications
Hardback. How to Count Num Pages: 361 pages, 59 black & white illustrations, 2 colour illustrations, 27 black & white tables, biograph. BIC Classification: PBT; PBV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 170 x 26. Weight in Grams: 708.
Providing a self-contained resource for upper undergraduate courses in combinatorics, this text emphasizes computation, problem solving, and proof technique. In particular, the book places special emphasis the Principle of Inclusion and Exclusion and the Multiplication Principle. To this end, exercise sets are included at the end of every section, ranging from simple computations (evaluate a formula for a given set of values) to more advanced proofs. The exercises are designed to test students' understanding of new material, while reinforcing a working mastery of the key concepts previously developed in the book. Intuitive descriptions for many abstract techniques are included. Students ... Read more

Reviews for How to Count: An Introduction to Combinatorics and Its Applications
“The book is an excellent introduction to combinatorics. … The author uses a clear language and often provides an easy intuitive access to abstract subjects. The presentation is well motivated, the explanations are transparent and illustrated by carefully selected examples. Each section ends with a list of well formulated exercises which make the book ideally suited for self-instruction.” (Astrid Reifegerste, ... Read more
