Synopsis

The importance of discrete mathematics has increased dramatically within the last few years, but until now it bas been difficult - if not impossible - to find a single reference book that effectively covers the subject. To fill that void, the " Handbook of Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics " presents a comprehensive collection of ready reference material for all of the important areas of discrete mathematics, including those essential to its applications in computer science and engineering. Its topics include : logic and foundations ; counting ; number theory ; abstract and linear algebra ; discrete probability ; graph theory ; networks and optimization ; cryptography and coding ; combinatorial designs ; computational geometry ; theoretical computer science. The handbook presents material in a simple, uniform way, and emphasizes what is useful and practical. Key elements of the text include : extensive glossaries of important terms ; lists of important theorems and formulas ; numerous examples that illustrate terms and concepts ; helpful descriptions of algorithms ; summary tables ; links to Web pages and pointers to printed resources. If you have ever had to find information from discrete mathematics in your work - or were just curious about one of its topics - you probably had to search through a variety of books to find it. Never again. Whether you're an engineer, computer professional, student, or someone interested in math, you will find this book incredibly useful. The " Handbook of Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics " has virtually everything you need in a single volume.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
