Computing the Continuous Discretely : Integer-Point Enumeration in Polyhedra Hardback
by Matthias Beck, Sinai Robins, Nicole Clark
Part of the Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series
Hardback
Description
This textbook illuminates the field of discrete mathematics with examples, theory, and applications of the discrete volume of a polytope.
The authors have weaved a unifying thread through basic yet deep ideas in discrete geometry, combinatorics, and number theory.
We encounter here a friendly invitation to the field of "counting integer points in polytopes", and its various connections to elementary finite Fourier analysis, generating functions, the Frobenius coin-exchange problem, solid angles, magic squares, Dedekind sums, computational geometry, and more.
With 250 exercises and open problems, the reader feels like an active participant.
