商品描述

This compact textbook consists of lecture notes given as a fourth-year undergraduate course of the mathematics degree at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, including topics in enumerative combinatorics, finite geometry, and graph theory. This text covers a single-semester course and is aimed at advanced undergraduates and masters-level students. Each chapter is intended to be covered in 6-8 hours of classes, which includes time to solve the exercises. The text is also ideally suited for independent study. Some hints are given to help solve the exercises and if the exercise has a numerical solution, then this is given. The material covered allows the reader with a rudimentary knowledge of discrete mathematics to acquire an advanced level on all aspects of combinatorics, from enumeration, through finite geometries to graph theory.

The intended audience of this book assumes a mathematical background of third-year students in mathematics, allowing for a swifter useof mathematical tools in analysis, algebra, and other topics, as these tools are routinely incorporated in contemporary combinatorics. Some chapters take on more modern approaches such as Chapters 1, 2, and 9. The authors have also taken particular care in looking for clear concise proofs of well-known results matching the mathematical maturity of the intended audience.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本緊湊的教科書是根據加泰羅尼亞理工大學數學學位的四年級本科課程講義編寫而成，包括列舉組合學、有限幾何和圖論等主題。本書涵蓋了一個學期的課程，適用於高年級本科生和碩士級學生。每個章節的內容預計需要6-8小時的課堂時間，包括解題時間。本書也非常適合自學使用。書中提供了一些提示來幫助解題，如果題目有數值解，也會給出解答。本書所涵蓋的內容使讀者在具備離散數學基礎知識的基礎上，能夠在列舉、有限幾何和圖論等各個方面達到高級水平。

本書的目標讀者是具備數學背景的三年級數學學生，這樣可以更快地運用分析、代數和其他主題中的數學工具，因為這些工具在當代組合學中經常被使用。一些章節採用了更現代的方法，例如第1、2和9章。作者們還特別注意尋找清晰簡潔的著名結果證明，以符合目標讀者的數學成熟度。

作者簡介

Simeon Ball is senior lecturer at the Department of Mathematics of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona. He has been invited speaker at many international conferences, as well as serving on the scientific and organising committee for many conferences. His research interests include classical and quantum error-correcting codes, incidence problems in real and finite geometries, graphs and semifields, and is particularly focused on applying geometrical and algebraic methods to these combinatorial objects. He has published more than 70 research papers and two books and serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Geometry and the Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A, having previously served on the editorial board of Designs, Codes and Cryptography and Finite Fields and Their Applications.

​Oriol Serra is full professor at the Department of Mathematics of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona. His research interestsare in combinatorics, graph theory and combinatorial number theory. He has been particularly interested in isoperimetric problems, Ramsey Theory, extremal and probabilistic combinatorics and additive combinatorics. He has published more than 100 research and divulgation papers, has been invited speaker in key conferences and has been involved in the organization of several of them. He has been involved in teaching Combinatorics and Graph Theory at undergraduate and master levels, particularly in a successful course on the topic jointly with Prof. Simeon Ball. He has served as chair of the department of mathematics, vicedean of research of the School of Mathematics at UPC and member of the Executive Committee of the Barcelona Graduate School of Mathematics among other duties.
