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.
