Handbook of Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics (Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications) 1st Edition by Kenneth H. Rosen (PDF)

Description

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.

Editorial Reviews: Review No other book covers such a wide range of topics in discrete mathematics…a useful resource.–CHOICE MagazineI 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 2001intended 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 mathematics…The coverage is vast…This book is a must-buy for research libraries.–Journal of Mathematical Psychology, February 2002

⭐This is an excelent book to reference discrete mathematics. It provides suscint treatment of discrete and combinatorial mathematics that is very helpfull if you have to take a fast refresh.

⭐I had to use Johnsonbaugh’s book as it was required for my course. During my course I searched for many other references to help with my understanding. I was fortunate to have a great professor, that I’m sure could have taught the course with any book. I knew that I needed a better book though for future reference (I keep all my textbooks, later on in life I know how to find what I need to refresh the memory!).This book by Rosen was the best! I can use it as a desk reference and will refer back to it often over the years. It has been a great reference too for the computer programming courses and as a supplement for Logic courses.If you know you need a Discrete Mathematics book, have been searching the Internet looking for the right one (they are all expensive)and you want to make sure you get one you will be able to use after your course for a reference manual, this is the book you need.

⭐At the university I am attending Johnsonbaugh’s book was a required text for a subject introducing discrete mathematics. Unfortunately, like many others it seems, I was less than impressed with the books ability ‘teach’, or even reinforce what we had just studied in lectures. I went looking for another book, not so much as a replacement for Johnsonbaugh’s book, but as an additional reference/study aid.Since owning this book I’ve found myself turning to it for explanations and examples over the required text. Almost every section lists definitions of terms, a bunch of useful facts and fully worked examples. Explanations and examples are clear and concise, while the facts often help to understand the process involved before getting into the examples.I’d like to stress that this is certainly no replacement for a text book in discrete/combinatorial mathematics, however it is marvelous to have by your side to provide additional help through problem areas.

⭐I purchased this after starting CS (Informatik) studies. It really helped me get familiar with all of the seemingly cryptic language used by professors. It is also loaded with examples, not just open questions. Multiple notations are given (in many cases). Important names in mathematics are mentioned. If you read this first, you can read and understand Knuth‘s The Art of Computer Science books. Oh, and it is typeset in TeX, so it is beautiful and good on the eyes.
