"The articles are all quite well-written and informative. In these days of increasing mathematical specialization, it's always nice to find something that helps bridge the gap between disciplines. It's even nicer when the contents are of the quality of these articles. This is an interesting, enjoyable and valuable book." Mathematical Association of America This book leads readers from a basic foundation to an advanced level understanding of algebra, logic and combinatorics. Perfect for graduate or PhD mathematical-science students looking for help in understanding the fundamentals of the topic, it also explores more specific areas such as invariant theory of finite groups, model theory, and enumerative combinatorics. Algebra, Logic and Combinatorics is the third volume of the Ltcc Advanced Mathematics Series. This series is the first to provide advanced introductions to mathematical science topics to advanced students of mathematics. Edited by the three joint heads of the London Taught Course Centre for PhD Students in the Mathematical Sciences (Ltcc), each book supports readers in broadening their mathematical knowledge outside of their immediate research disciplines while also covering specialized key areas.

About the Author

Frank Smith was born in Canada and went to England at the age of six. At the age of 16 he went to work in Bletchley Park, the wartime station where enemy communications were being decoded with the aid of the famous Enigma machine. He began writing in the 1960s. The theme of the first five books, beginning with CORPSE IN HANDCUFFS, was espionage in the Cold War years, but when that came to an end he moved on to police procedurals featuring DCI Neil Paget and DS John Tregalles.
