About this title

Synopsis

This book aims to give students a chance to begin exploring some introductory to intermediate topics in combinatorics, a fascinating and accessible branch of mathematics centered around (among other things) counting various objects and sets. We include chapters featuring tools for solving counting problems, proof techniques, and more to give students a broad foundation to build on. The only prerequisites are a solid background in arithmetic, some basic algebra, and a love for learning math.

Review

The only prerequisites to study the book are a background in arithmetic and some basic algebra. I believe that this will be a useful source for a wide range of introductory to intermediate audiences. Instructors preparing students for mathematical competitions will find the book very suitable for that purpose. - Mehdi Hassani, MAA Reviews
