SYNOPSIS: The mathematical subject introduced in this book is known as combinatorics. In addition to is use in coping with questions such as "how many ways are there of changing a dollar bill?" (which the author answers fully in Chapter 7), combinatorial thinking enters most elegantly into the proofs of many theorems in various branches of mathematics. In elementary mathematics, the proof of the binomial theorem offers a striking example of the power of combinatorial arguments. Knowledge of permutations, combinations and related problems in the art of counting is also extremely helpful in the study of probability theory. Familiarity with the rudiments of algebra is the only mathematical preparation needed to read Professor Niven's book. Numerous problems and their solutions assist the reader to maser the art of counting without counting. Ivan Niven was born in Vancouver, Canada, in 1915. He attended the University of British Columbia and the University of Chicago. Following a research appointment at the University of Pennsylvania, he taught at the University of Illinois and Purdue University and lectured for two summers at Stanford. He is at present Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oregon. Professor Niven has served as an editor of the American Mathematical Monthly and the Pacific Journal of Mathematics, and as a member of the advisory panels in mathematics of the Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation. In addition to numerous research articles, he has written five other books, including the first monograph in this series, Numbers: Rational and Irrational. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
