This  book is aimed at undergraduate mathematics and computer science  students interested in developing a feeling for what mathematics is  all about, where mathematics can be helpful, and what kinds of  questions mathematicians work on.  The authors discuss a number of  selected results and methods of discrete mathematics, mostly from the  areas of combinatorics and graph theory, with a little number theory,  probability, and combinatorial geometry.   Wherever possible, the  authors use proofs and problem solving to help students understand the  solutions to problems.  In addition, there are numerous examples,  figures and exercises spread throughout the book.  Laszlo Lovasz is a Senior Researcher in the Theory Group at Microsoft  Corporation.  He is a recipient of the 1999 Wolf Prize andthe Godel  Prize for the top paper in Computer Science.  Jozsef Pelikan is  Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Algebra and Number  Theory at Eotvos Lorand University, Hungary. In 2002, he was elected  Chairman of the Advisory Board of the  International Mathematical Olympiad. Katalin Vesztergombi is Senior  Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the University of  Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-01-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387955841\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/b97469\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 284\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46540656410764,"sku":"9780387955841","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387955841.jpg?v=1775712460","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780387955841","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
