Full Description

A mathematical gem-freshly cleaned and polished This book is intended to be used as the text for a first course in combinatorics. the text has been shaped by two goals, namely, to make complex mathematics accessible to students with a wide range of abilities, interests, and motivations; and to create a pedagogical tool, useful to the broad spectrum of instructors who bring a variety of perspectives and expectations to such a course. Features retained from the first edition:* Lively and engaging writing style* Timely and appropriate examples* Numerous well-chosen exercises* Flexible modular format* Optional sections and appendices Highlights of Second Edition enhancements:* Smoothed and polished exposition, with a sharpened focus on key ideas* Expanded discussion of linear codes* New optional section on algorithms* Greatly expanded hints and answers section* Many new exercises and examples
