Rating: Summary: Hope this is a 1st edition error... Review: looking at the sample pages, on page 3, it said 5! = 60... I may not know anything about combinatorics, but I do know my factorials...
Rating: Summary: Excellent Book for a Graph Theory and Combinatorics Course Review: Simply stated, this is an excellent book. I used this book to teach an upper division undergraduate course in Graph Theory and Combinatorics. This book is by far the best book I have come across for teaching these topics. Incredibly the book contains very few errors (I've only found two errors (typos) ). In addition, the book has applications of the concepts for a wide range of disciplines.The author has a wide range of problems at the end of each section. Almost all of the problems are well written with clear directions. Every Computer Science/Mathematics major should have this book in their library. It's great!
Rating: Summary: One of the best math books written Review: This is one of the best mathematics books I have ever read. I used this in a discrete modeling course. Unfortunately, we didn't cover some of the more interesting topics like coding theory. I've since graduated and when I get a penchant to study a little math, this is the book I go to first because there is such a diverse array of topics presented in a clear, concise manner. I only wish there was a new edition.
Rating: Summary: Superb textbook Review: We used this text for our introductory class in Combinatorics in graduate Mathematics at Louisville. Very well written with fantastic examples.
