Description
Book SynopsisA clear and self-contained introduction to discrete mathematics for undergraduates and early graduates.
Trade ReviewReview from previous edition 'The book is a self-contained introduction to discrete mathematics, and in particular to combinatorics and graph theory. It is aimed at undergraduate and early graduate students and encourages an active, problem-solving approach to the material. The book treats selected topics in unusual depth and from several points of view.' * Zentralblatt fur Didaktik der Mathematik *
'...a far-from-traditional textbook and...a joy to read. The text is lucid and sprinkled with small jokes and background stories.' * Times Higher Education Supplement, Friday 26th November 1999 *
