Product Details
Continued from the back cover: “Surprisingly, such a simple matter requires some deep mathematics for its study. This book considers the many theoretical aspects of this subject, which have in turn recently found applications to statistical mechanics, computer science and other branches of mathematics.
“With minimal prerequisites, this book is suitable for students as well as researchers in combinatorics, analysis, and number theory.”
