The Fibonacci numbers -- pt. 2. The Catalan numbers. 330 $a"In this one-of-a-kind book, Ralph Grimaldi uses his extensive experience from the classroom and as a leader of mini-courses to present an accessible, single resource on the topics of Fibonacci Numbers and Catalan Numbers. The book first embarks on a complete treatment of Fibonacci numbers. Starting with a historical background on the topic, the author goes on to present the properties of Fibonacci numbers, a slew of introductory-level examples, and in-depth discussion of related topics including compositions and palindromes; tiling and Fibonacci numbers; solving linear recurrence relations; graph theory; Lucas numbers; and alternate Fibonacci numbers. The second half of the book explores Catalan numbers, and the author builds a complete foundation to the topic using a historical background and introductory examples, along with coverage of partial orders, total orders, topological sorting, graph theory, rooted ordered binary trees, pattern avoidance, and the Narayana numbers. Coverage of both topics are accompanied by interesting, real-world examples from areas such as sports, botany, and computer science. Each section concludes with detailed exercise sets that can also serve as extended examples of the presented material along with selected solutions. An Instructor's Manual featuring complete solutions is available upon written request, and extensive reference sections outline resources for further study of the discussed topics."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aFibonacci numbers 606 $aRecurrent sequences (Mathematics) 606 $aCatalan numbers (Mathematics) 606 $aCombinatorial analysis 615 0$aFibonacci numbers. 615 0$aRecurrent sequences (Mathematics) 615 0$aCatalan numbers (Mathematics) 615 0$aCombinatorial analysis. 676 $a512.7/2 686 $aMAT036000$2bisacsh 700 $aGrimaldi$b Ralph P$065937 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141163003321 996 $aFibonacci and Catalan numbers$92167202 997 $aUNINA
