Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The importance of discrete and combinatorial mathematics continues to increase as the range of applications to computer science, electrical engineering, and the biological sciences grows dramatically. Providing a ready reference for practitioners in the field, the Handbook of Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics, Second Edition presents additional material on Google's matrix, random graphs, geometric graphs, computational topology, and other key topics. New chapters highlight essential background information on bioinformatics and computational geometry. Each chapter includes a glossary, definitions, facts, examples, algorithms, major applications, and references.

Críticas

"No other book covers such a wide range of topics in discrete mathematicsa useful resource." --CHOICE Magazine "I like the book's format. There are glossaries at the beginning of each chapter. Each subsection begins with definitions and goes on to "facts," then algorithms (boxed and in pseudo -code), lists of mathematical objects, illuminating pictures, examples, lists of applications, and, finally, bibliography and web sources. This handbook will appeal both to pure and to applied mathematicians. Its 17 chapters, and 115 subsections were produced by 77 individuals, kept nicely in line (no mean task) by five editors who, in turn, got the go-ahead signal and the prestige of an advisory editorial board of 23 distinguished authorities. --SIAM News -June 2001 "intended to provide a user a quick and concise look up facility for definitions, basic facts, algorithms, standard examples, tables, printed references and URLs for the various objects of discrete mathematics. Thus it will be a valuable supplement in any library." -Monatshefte fur Mathematics, Volume 134, No. 3, 2002 "a valuable reference tool for professionals and students using discrete mathematicsThe coverage is vastThis book is a must-buy for research libraries." --Journal of Mathematical Psychology, February 2002
