Combinatorics
von Russell MerrisA mathematical gem-freshly cleaned and polished
This book is intended to be used as the text for a first coursein combinatorics. the text has been shaped by two goals, namely, tomake complex mathematics accessible to students with a wide rangeof abilities, interests, and motivations; and to create apedagogical tool, useful to the broad spectrum of instructors whobring a variety of perspectives and expectations to such acourse.
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 keyideas
* Expanded discussion of linear codes
* New optional section on algorithms
* Greatly expanded hints and answers section
* Many new exercises and examples
