Sommario/riassunto |
|
Counting lies at the heart of much mathematics, and Niven's subtitle is How to count without counting. This is the whole art of combinatorics: permutations, combinations, binomial coefficients, the inclusion-exclusion principle, combinatorial probability, partitions of numbers, generating polynomials, the pigeonhole principle, and much more. |
