Books about Enumeration from Amazon.com

This is a textbook for an introductory combinatorics course that can take up one or two semesters An extensive list of exercises, ranging in difficulty from "routine" to "worthy of independent publication", is included. In each section, there are also exercises that contain material not explicitly discussed in the text before, so as to provide instructors with extra choices if they want to shift the emphasis of their course.

It goes without saying that the text covers the classic areas, i.e. combinatorial choice problems and graph theory. What is unusual, for an undergraduate textbook, is that the author has included a number of more elaborate concepts, such as Ramsey theory, the probabilistic method and - probably the first of its kind - pattern avoidance. While the reader can only skim the surface of these areas, the author believes that they are interesting enough to catch the attention of some students. As the goal of the book is to encourage students to learn more combinatorics, every effort has been made to provide them with a not only useful, but also enjoyable and engaging reading..

The tenth anniversary edition of the world's bestselling computer security book!

The original Hacking Exposed authors rejoin forces on this new edition to offer completely up-to-date coverage of today's most devastating hacks and how to prevent them. Using their proven methodology, the authors reveal how to locate and patch system vulnerabilities. The book includes new coverage of ISO images, wireless and RFID attacks, Web 2.0 vulnerabilities, anonymous hacking tools, Ubuntu, Windows Server 2008, mobile devices, and more.

Hacking Exposed 6 applies the authors' internationally renowned computer security methodologies, technical rigor, and "from-the-trenches" experience to make computer technology usage and deployments safer and more secure for businesses and consumers.

"A cross between a spy novel and a tech manual." --Mark A. Kellner, Washington Times

"The seminal book on white-hat hacking and countermeasures . . . Should be required reading for anyone with a server or a network to secure." --Bill Machrone, PC Magazine

"A must-read for anyone in security . . . One of the best security books available." --Tony Bradley, CISSP, About.com

Counting: The Art of Enumerative Combinatorics provides an introduction to discrete mathematics that addresses questions that begin, How many ways are there to...For example, ¿How many ways are there to order a collection of 12 ice cream cones if 8 flavors are available?¿ At the end of the book the reader should be able to answer such nontrivial counting questions as, ¿How many ways are there to color the faces of a cube if ¿k¿ colors are available with each face having exactly one color?¿ or ¿How many ways are there to stack ¿n¿ poker chips, each of which can be red, white, blue, or green, such that each red chip is adjacent to at least 1 green chip?¿ Since there are no prerequisites, this book can be used for college courses in combinatorics at the sophomore level for either computer science or mathematics students. The first five chapters have served as the basis for a graduate course for in-service teachers. Chapter 8 introduces graph theory..

Welcome to your book of lists. Enumeration, volume three in the Personal Illuminations series by James C. Christensen, is the perfect place to keep track of everything from the mundane to the sacred--from home repairs and favorite foods to travel plans and goals for the year.

This book of lists is filled with playful illustrations and contains dozens of ideas from "to do" lists, to lists of favorites, to checklists of new things to try. Some of the pages you will find include:
* Favorite quotations; favorite restaurants; favorite pets.
* Places I would like to see before I die.
* Five things to accomplish this year.
* Bravest things I've done.
* Things I'm afraid to try.
* People I admire.
* Bridges to mend.
* Daydreams I've had.

Whether you love to create lists or jot and doodle, or you just want a fun and simple way to create a personal journal, Enumeration is the book for you.

Major works of James C. Christensen are available as limited edition fine art prints and three-dimensional collectibles published by The Greenwich Workshop, Inc. www.greenwichworkshop.com.

Discrete mathematics has now established its place in most undergraduate mathematics courses. This textbook provides a concise, readable and accessible introduction to a number of topics in this area, such as enumeration, graph theory, Latin squares and designs. It is aimed at second-year undergraduate mathematics students, and provides them with many of the basic techniques, ideas and results. It contains many worked examples, and each chapter ends with a large number of exercises, with hints or solutions provided for most of them. As well as including standard topics such as binomial coefficients, recurrence, the inclusion-exclusion principle, trees, Hamiltonian and Eulerian graphs, Latin squares and finite projective planes, the text also includes material on the ménage problem, magic squares, Catalan and Stirling numbers, and tournament schedules..

Combinatorial enumeration is a readily accessible subject full of easily stated, but sometimes tantalizingly difficult problems. This book leads the reader in a leisurely way from the basic notions to a variety of topics, ranging from algebra to statistical physics. Its aim is to introduce the student to a fascinating field, and to be a source of information for the professional mathematician who wants to learn more about the subject. The book is organized in three parts: Basics, Methods, and Topics. There are 666 exercises, and as a special feature every chapter ends with a highlight, discussing a particularly beautiful or famous result.

The subject of these notes is counting (of combinatorial structures) and related topics, viewed from a computational perspective. A major theme of the book is the idea of accumulating information about a set of combinatorial structures by performing a random walk (i.e., simulating a Markov chain) on those structures. These notes will be of value not only to teachers of postgraduate courses on these topics, but also to established researchers. For the first time this body of knowledge has been brought together in a single volume.
