Computational Discrete Mathematics

Combinatorics and Graph Theory with <I>Mathematica ®</I>
Sriram Pemmaraju, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, and University of Iowa
Steven Skiena, State University of New York, Stony Brook
October 2009
Paperback
9780521121460
    Description

    With examples of all 450 functions in action plus tutorial text on the mathematics, this book is the definitive guide to Experimenting with Combinatorica, a widely used software package for teaching and research in discrete mathematics. Three interesting classes of exercises are provided--theorem/proof, programming exercises, and experimental explorations--ensuring great flexibility in teaching and learning the material. The Combinatorica user community ranges from students to engineers, researchers in mathematics, computer science, physics, economics, and the humanities. Recipient of the EDUCOM Higher Education Software Award, Combinatorica is included with every copy of the popular computer algebra system Mathematica.

    • The definitive guide to the latest version of the Combinatorica software, included with every copy of Mathematica, with new functionality, significantly improved performance, and advanced graphics
    • Unique experimental approach to teaching/learning combinatorics and graph theory
    • Steven Skiena is the best-selling author of the books The Algorithm Design Manual and Calculated Bets

    Reviews & endorsements

    "This book is the definitive reference guide to Combinatorica -- an extension of the popular computer software, Mathematica -- with examples of the 450 combinatorics functions. The authors developed the newest version of this software that has dramatic improvements in graphical processing performance, representation, visualization, and many brand new functions...This book is highly recommended. It is a well organized and readable textbook for beginners and intermediate students." Leonardo

    Mathematical Structures in Computer Science
    Mathematical Structures in Computer Science

    : Journal

    Mathematical Structures in Computer Science is a journal of theoretical computer science which focuses on the application of ideas from the structural side of mathematics and mathematical logic to computer science. The journal aims to bridge the gap between theoretical contributions and software design, publishing original papers of a high standard and broad surveys with original perspectives in all areas of computing, provided that ideas or results from logic, algebra, geometry, category theory or other areas of logic and mathematics form a basis for the work. The journal welcomes applications to computing based on the use of specific mathematical structures (e.g. topological and order-theoretic structures) as well as on proof-theoretic notions or results. The journal will also accept contributions in new interdisciplinary fields bridging computer science, quantum physics, mathematics and information theory. In particular, papers on quantum information processing and communication, as well as on the related issues in quantum language design will be considered. The journal is also interested in papers on computational modelling of epigenetics phenomena, protein-protein interaction, stochasticity in molecular cascades. Mathematical approches to System Biology will be welcomed, within the broad frame of post-genomic views of embryogenesis and evolution.
