Combinatorics by Peter J Cameron

Combinatorics by Peter J Cameron

Combinatorics is a subject of increasing importance, owing to its links with computer science, statistics and algebra. This is a textbook aimed at second-year undergraduates to beginning graduates. It stresses common techniques (such as generating functions and recursive construction) which underlie the great variety of subject matter and also stresses the fact that a constructive or algorithmic proof is more valuable than an existence proof. The book is divided into two parts, the second at a higher level and with a wider range than the first. Historical notes are included which give a wider perspective on the subject. More advanced topics are given as projects and there are a number of exercises, some with solutions given.

"Cameron covers an impressive amount of material in a relatively small space..an outstanding supplement to other texts..." M. Henle, Choice
"...used as a text at the senior or graduate level and is an excellent reference....The range of topics is very good." The UMAP Journal
