Introduction To Combinatorics
Paperback Edition: 1
The subject of combinatorics provides a rich source of material for mathematics competitions. At one level it can be thought of as a sort of extreme counting--how do we enumerate the number of ways of different ways of doing something? However, the subject is broader than that. It addresses situations which involve organising things so as to satisfy certain criteria--placing tiles on a chessboard, seating people in a circle, chopping up a cube--and then asks whether or not a certain outcome is possible.
