Combinatorics
Author: Béla Bollobás
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521337038
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Combinatorics is a book whose main theme is the study of subsets of a finite set. It gives a thorough grounding in the theories of set systems and hypergraphs, while providing an introduction to matroids, designs, combinatorial probability and Ramsey theory for infinite sets. The gems of the theory are emphasized: beautiful results with elegant proofs. The book developed from a course at Louisiana State University and combines a careful presentation with the informal style of those lectures. It should be an ideal text for senior undergraduates and beginning graduates.

Algorithmic Probability and Combinatorics
Author: Manuel Lladser
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 082184783X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Sessions on Algorithmic Probability and Combinatories held at DePaul University on October 5-6, 2007 and at the University of British Columbia on October 4-5, 2008. This volume collects cutting-edge research and expository on algorithmic probability and combinatories. It includes contributions by well-established experts and younger researchers who use generating functions, algebraic and probabilistic methods as well as asymptotic analysis on a daily basis. Walks in the quarter-plane and random walks (quantum, rotor and self-avoiding), permutation tableaux, and random permutations are considered. In addition, articles in the volume present a variety of saddle-point and geometric methods for the asymptotic analysis of the coefficients of single-and multivariable generating functions associated with combinatorial objects and discrete random structures. The volume should appeal to pure and applied mathematicians, as well as mathematical physicists; in particular, anyone interested in computational aspects of probability, combinatories and enumeration. Furthermore, the expository or partly expository papers included in this volume should serve as an entry point to this literature not only to experts in other areas, but also to graduate students.

Proofs that Really Count
Author: Arthur T. Benjamin
Publisher: American Mathematical Society
ISBN: 1470472597
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Mathematics is the science of patterns, and mathematicians attempt to understand these patterns and discover new ones using a variety of tools. In Proofs That Really Count, award-winning math professors Arthur Benjamin and Jennifer Quinn demonstrate that many number patterns, even very complex ones, can be understood by simple counting arguments. The book emphasizes numbers that are often not thought of as numbers that count: Fibonacci Numbers, Lucas Numbers, Continued Fractions, and Harmonic Numbers, to name a few. Numerous hints and references are given for all chapter exercises and many chapters end with a list of identities in need of combinatorial proof. The extensive appendix of identities will be a valuable resource. This book should appeal to readers of all levels, from high school math students to professional mathematicians.

Problems from the Discrete to the Continuous
Author: Ross G. Pinsky
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319079654
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
The primary intent of the book is to introduce an array of beautiful problems in a variety of subjects quickly, pithily and completely rigorously to graduate students and advanced undergraduates. The book takes a number of specific problems and solves them, the needed tools developed along the way in the context of the particular problems. It treats a melange of topics from combinatorial probability theory, number theory, random graph theory and combinatorics. The problems in this book involve the asymptotic analysis of a discrete construct, as some natural parameter of the system tends to infinity. Besides bridging discrete mathematics and mathematical analysis, the book makes a modest attempt at bridging disciplines. The problems were selected with an eye toward accessibility to a wide audience, including advanced undergraduate students. The book could be used for a seminar course in which students present the lectures.

Probability and Combinatorics
Author: D.P. Apte
Publisher: Excel Books India
ISBN: 9788174465207
Category : Combinatorial analysis
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
This book covers a selection of topics on combinatorics, probability and discrete mathematics useful to the students of MCA, MBA, computer science and applied mathematics. The book uses a different approach in explaining these subjects, so as to be equally suitable for the students with different backgrounds from commerce to computer engineering. This book not only explains the concepts and provides variety of solved problems, but also helps students to develop insight and perception, to formulate and solve mathematical problems in a creative way. The book includes topics in combinatorics like advance principles of counting, combinatorial identities, concept of probability, random variables and their probability distributions, discrete and continuous standard distributions and jointly random variables, recurrence relations and generating functions. This book completely covers MCA syllabus of Pune University and will also be suitable for undergraduate science courses like B.Sc. as well as management courses.

Introduction to Probability
Author: David F. Anderson
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110824498X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
This classroom-tested textbook is an introduction to probability theory, with the right balance between mathematical precision, probabilistic intuition, and concrete applications. Introduction to Probability covers the material precisely, while avoiding excessive technical details. After introducing the basic vocabulary of randomness, including events, probabilities, and random variables, the text offers the reader a first glimpse of the major theorems of the subject: the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. The important probability distributions are introduced organically as they arise from applications. The discrete and continuous sides of probability are treated together to emphasize their similarities. Intended for students with a calculus background, the text teaches not only the nuts and bolts of probability theory and how to solve specific problems, but also why the methods of solution work.
