Problems from the Discrete to the Continuous : Probability, Number Theory, Graph Theory, and Combinatorics Paperback / softback
by Ross G. Pinsky
Part of the Universitext series
Paperback / softback
Description
The primary intent of the book is to introduce an array of beautiful problems in a variety of subjects quickly, pithily and completely rigorously to graduate students and advanced undergraduates.
The book takes a number of specific problems and solves them, the needed tools developed along the way in the context of the particular problems.
It treats a melange of topics from combinatorial probability theory, number theory, random graph theory and combinatorics.
The problems in this book involve the asymptotic analysis of a discrete construct, as some natural parameter of the system tends to infinity.
Besides bridging discrete mathematics and mathematical analysis, the book makes a modest attempt at bridging disciplines.
The problems were selected with an eye toward accessibility to a wide audience, including advanced undergraduate students.
The book could be used for a seminar course in which students present the lectures.
