A Student s Guide to the Study, Practice, and Tools of Modern Mathematics provides an accessible introduction to the world of mathematics. It offers tips on how to study and write mathematics as well as how to use various mathematical tools, from LaTeX and Beamer to Mathematica^(r) and Maple to MATLAB^(r) and R. Along with a color insert, the text includes exercises and challenges to stimulate creativity and improve problem solving abilities.

The first section of the book covers...

Combinatorialists are seldom aware of number theoretical tools, and number theorists rarely aware of possible combinatorial applications. This book is accessible for both of the groups. The first part introduces important counting sequences. The second part shows how these sequences can be generalized to study new combinatorial problems

Volume of geometric objects plays an important role in applied and theoretical mathematics. This is particularly true in the relatively new branch of discrete geometry, where volume is often used to find new topics for research. Volumetric Discrete Geometry demonstrates the recent aspects of volume, introduces problems related to it, and presents methods to apply it to other geometric problems.Part I of the text consists of survey chapters of selected topics on volume and is suitable for advanced undergraduate students. Part II has chapters of selected proofs of theorems stated in Part I and...

Extremal Finite Set Theory surveys old and new results in this subject. It presents an overview of the main techniques and tools (shifting, cycle method, profile polytopes, incidence matrices, combinatorial nullstellensatz, etc.) used in the different subtopics. 

Introduction to Chemical Graph Theory is a concise introduction to the main topics and techniques in chemical graph theory, specifically the theory of topological indices. The book covers some of the most commonly used mathematical approaches in the subject. 

This is the first book that focuses on the intersection of graph searching games and probabilistic methods. The book explores various applications of these powerful mathematical tools to games and processes. It also provides results, techniques, and directions in graph searching games from the point of view of probabilistic methods.

The first book devoted to the crossing number, an increasingly popular object of study with surprising connections. The field has matured into a large body of work, which includes identifiable core results and techniques. The book presents a wide variety of ideas and techniques in topological graph theory, discrete geometry, and comput

This book focuses on symmetric groups and representation theory. The symmetric group is a central object in discrete mathematics. It can be studied from a combinatorial, algorithmic, or algebraic viewpoint, and the results can be applied in a plethora of other fields, such as physics and computer science. This book is the most up-to-date one on

　Analytic Combinatorics: A Multidimensional Approach is written in a reader-friendly fashion to better facilitate the understanding of the subject. Naturally, it is a firm introduction to the concept of analytic combinatorics and is a valuable tool to help readers better understand the structure and large-scale behavior of discrete objects. Primarily, the textbook is a gateway to the interactions between complex analysis and combinatorics. The study will lead readers through connections to number theory, algebraic geometry, probability and formal language theory. The textbook starts by...
