Description
An Invitation to Combinatorics by Shahriar Shahriari is a comprehensive textbook that combines engaging problems with in-depth coverage of essential combinatorics topics.
With over 1200 carefully designed problems, ten mini-projects, and guided exercises, this classroom-tested text encourages active student engagement and exploration of current research trends. The author's conversational style makes complex concepts accessible, while glimpses into the history and global origins of the subject add depth to the learning experience.
Key topics such as Ramsey theory, enumerative combinatorics, generating functions, and graph theory are fully covered, with many problems presented as guided exercises to help readers discover significant results on their own. Complete solutions and hints are available for over 140 problems, making this book an ideal choice for self-study or a one-semester upper undergraduate course.
