Invitation to Discrete Mathematics is at once an introduction and a thoroughly <br />
comprehensive textbook for courses in combinatorics and graph theory. It also <br />
contains introductory chapters for more specialized courses such as <br />
probabilistic methods, applied linear algebra, combinatorial enumeration, and <br />
operations research. A lively and entertaining style is combined with rigorous <br />
mathematics, and the many illustrations, examples and exercises make the book <br />
particularly accessible and user-friendly.<br />
