Computational Discrete Mathematics (South Asian Edition)

Combinatorica an extension to the popular computer algebra system Mathematica® is the most comprehensive software available for teaching and research applications of discrete mathematics particularly combinatorics and graph theory. This book is the definitive reference/user’s guide to Combinatorica with examples of all 450 Combinatorica functions in action along with the associated mathematical and algorithmic theory. The authors cover classical and advanced topics on the most important combinatorial objects: permutations subsets partitions and Young tableaux as well as all important areas of graph theory: graph construction operations invariants embeddings and algorithmic graph theory. In addition to being a research tool Combinatorica makes discrete mathematics accessible in new and exciting ways to a wide variety of people by encouraging computational experimentation and visualization. The book contains no formal proofs but enough discussion to understand and appreciate all the algorithms and theorems it contains.
