Springer, 2000 What an introductory book on combinatorics should be Little did I expect of a book that has seemingly not garnered that much attention among professors and students (at least the lack of reviews in Amazon.com might serve as a confirming instance of that speculation), but come exam time, the book proved that such prejudice is outright foolish. The authors must really love both the field and writing about it, for their overflowing exuberance ...             The Cauchy-Schwarz Master Class: An Introduction to the Art of Mathematical Inequalities (Maa Problem Books ...6 reviews J. Michael Steele Cambridge University Press, 2004 Erudite and stimulating problem book in inequalities The classic work in this field is Hardy, Littlewood, and Polya's "Inequalities", but as much as I admire these authors for their other works, I have never gotten much out of their inequality book. Steele's book is different: extremely clear, erudite, and thorough, it almost makes everything obvious. The subject of inequalities is something of a hodge-podge, and Steele isn't able to change that, ...             Generatingfunctionology5 reviews Herbert S. Wilf Academic Press, 1994 Interesting Book, Available Online Interested readers should be made aware that if a person does a net search for "Herbert Wilf's Home Page", and then goes to that site, the author has this book (and a number of other things)available for FREE downloading. That might be a great way to preview the book, even if you later decide to spend the money to get a nicely bound traditional copy here.             Integer and Combinatorial Optimization6 reviews Laurence A. Wolsey, George L. Nemhauser Wiley-Interscience, 1999 One of the best... I first used this book as a text for a graduate course in Integer Programming. At first it seemed to be a very poorly organized book, but as I read it and grew familiar with the subject, I realized that this is a hybrid textbook-handbook. Though the title says "Integer and Combinatorial", the authors go a step ahead and present topics in advanced linear programming, computational complexity, ...             Enumerative Combinatorics, Vol. 1 (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics)5 reviews Richard P. Stanley Cambridge University Press, 1997 A Classic! This book is a must for anyone who likes how to count. In addition to the superb exposition of deep and important mathematics, it contains so many intriguing problems, some of them even puzzle-like. Read this book cover-to-cover or open it at a random page. Either way you would love it!             A=B4 reviews Marko Petkovsek, Herbert S. Wilf, ... AK Peters, Ltd., 1996 Prize winning work The mathematics described in the book "A=B" lead to the awarding of a Steele Prize by the American Mathematical Society to Herbert Wilf and Doron Zeilberger. What the authors have done is to discover a way of using computer algebra and some mathematical ideas they and others had earlier to make it possible to find the sum of most of the hypergeometric and basic hypergeometric series which ...             BUSINESS & LEGAL FORMS GRAPH DESIGN12 reviews Tad Crawford Allworth Press, 1995 It's a $29.95 Lawyer!! Our small graphic design firm had been relying on the legal forms and contracts from this book for about one year. Finally, we decided that perhaps we ought to visit with a lawyer to make sure we were doing it right...$560.00 later for an initial consultation, we realized that this $29.95 book was the best business investment we'd ever made! The lawyer confirmed that the contracts that we had ...             Modern Graph Theory5 reviews Springer, 2002 Excellent in content, but somewhat challenging in narrative Bela Bollobas has the rare gift of having both deep mathematical insights, and the ability to eloquently communicate them in a way that is accessible to the average graduate student. In his book "Modern Graph Theory", Bollobas covers just about every exciting area of the subject, and does so in an up-to-date fashion that gives the reader a big picture of each sub-area of the field. The ability to ...             Introductory Graph Theory9 reviews Gary Chartrand Dover Publications, 1984 The Holy Grail of Graph Theory This is, for all purposes, the Holy Grail of Graph Theory. It is older, but still very much applicable. As a computer scientist (instructor and Masters degree student), I highly recommend this for students studying Discrete Mathematics and Graph Theory. It has several examples throughout and the presentation is excellent. Many books on mathematics from this 'era' tend to be overly wordy and ...             Classification and Regression Trees6 reviews Leo Breiman, Jerome Friedman, ... Chapman & Hall/CRC, 1984 the book that made tree classification rigorous In 1984 Brieman, Olshen, Friedman and Stone published this book and produced a software product called CART that made tree classification popular. These algorithms were very useful in medical applications and the book illustrated some simple success stories particularly ones from Richard Olshen's experience working in the Medical School at UC San Diego. Olshen and Gordon did some of the work on ...             Orthogonal Arrays: Theory and Applications (Springer Series in Statistics)4 reviews, ... Springer, 1999 first book devoted to orthogonal arrays This book is a great collaboration. Hedayat is a statistician who has been a major developer of orthogonal arrays for statistical experimental designs, Stufken was a student of Hedayat who has worked with him on this research. Sloane comes from the mathematics of codign theory where he has developed orthogonal arrays to produce error correcting codes. Orthogonal arrays were introduced by C. R. ...             Harley Quinn: Preludes and Knock-Knock Jokes4 reviews Karl Kesel, Terry Dodson DC Comics, 2008 A light weight knock out Fans of Harley Quinn should purchase this without hesitation; it delivers the first seven issues of her y2k series in a beautifully bound hardcover. Visually, the pages here feature mostly fantastic, seductive, pin-up style panels of Harley mixed with some cartoon like panels that resemble her in the Batman animated series. One has to assume the later is done because of time constraints, but ...             Tiger Math: Learning to Graph from a Baby Tiger4 reviews Ann Whitehead Nagda, Cindy Bickel Owlet Paperbacks, 2002 What a great book! If you have a little one, work with children, or just love tigers, this is a must!!!! So many math concepts are taught using nonfiction so children can understand the connection easier. The reader follows the tiger from infancy through adulthood using all sorts of graphic organizers to understand things like number of species alive to different types of species, etc. The photos enable the ...             Ordering problems approximated: Register sufficiency, single-processor scheduling and interval graph ...4 reviews Ajit Agrawal Brown University, Dept. of Computer Science, 1991 JEKYLL AND HYDE - THE WAR YEARS - VOL 3 This was the third of three Goebbel War Year diaries that I bought and read. Although not the easiest prose to read -- in part they were not written necessarily to be read but to be perhaps used in a memoir that was destined to never be written -- this and the other two diaries are fascinating books for people fascinated by that era. This diary ends on 9 April 45. According to the introduction ...             Functions and Graphs4 reviews The MIT Press, 1969 An insightful introduction to analytic geometry. This brief text provides a clear introduction to analytic geometry. Its scope is narrow. The authors discuss the graphs and properties of linear functions, absolute value functions, quadratic functions, linear fractional functions, power functions, and rational functions (trigonometric functions are discussed in another volume of the Gelfand School Outreach Program). What distinguishes this ...             Discrete Mathematics for New Technology3 reviews R. Garnier Taylor & Francis, 1992 Thank You... ...for cleaning up Johnsonbaugh's mess. I bought this as a supplemental text for a DM course using Johnsonbaugh's book. Thank god I bought this book!             Iterative Receiver Design4 reviews Henk Wymeersch Cambridge University Press, 2007 great book This book reviews a large variety of digital communications algorithms in the notation of factor graphs. It is an ideal starting point for researchers who are entirely new to the field of digital communications and wish to gain a quick overview. Since all algorithms are consistently described in one framework, it avoids having to parse the confusing mix of notations occurring in the existing ...             An Introduction to Combinatorial Analysis3 reviews John Riordan Princeton Univ Pr, 1980 A Classic Text in the Subject This is a text which, while considered an introduction and perhaps a bit dated nowadays, requires some of the closest attention I have ever had to pay to a mathematical work. If I may call this book a mathematical gold mine, I must also say that in parts the digging is arduous and rewarding and the rock can be of high density. The section in chapter 2, on derivatives of composite functions ...             Complexity and Approximation: Combinatorial Optimization Problems and Their Approximability Properties3 reviews G. Ausiello, P. Crescenzi, ... Springer, 2003 A great sequel to Garey and Johnson This book is a great sequel to Garey and Johnson. The appendix of this book gives a list of all NP optimisation problems together with their current approximability (or inapproximability results) in a Garey Johnson fashion. Developing approximation algorithms for NP hard problems is now a very active field in Mathematical Programming and Theoretical Computer Science. There have been a number of ...             Foundations of Combinatorial Topology3 reviews L .S. Pontryagin Dover Publications, 1999 A cheap classic by one of the masters This book covers, as the title says, the foundations of combinatorial topology. What that refers to, essentially, is the topology of polyhedra and the machinery of simplicial homology groups. The first part of the book establishes the basic facts about these topological spaces and about abstract complexes as well. The second part shows the topological invariance of simplicial homology.
