This guide covers key concepts in the Sum Rule and the Product Rule , Permutations and Combinations, The Pigeonhole Principle , Generalized Permutations and Combinations , Sequences and Selections , The Inclusion , Exclusion Principle,Generating Functions and Partitions of Integers , The Distribution Problem in Combinatorics , Recurrence Relations , Group Theory in Combinatorics, Including the Burnside-Frobenius Theorem , Permutation Groups and their Cycle Indice and Polya's Enumeration Theorems

Combinatorics deals with the enumeration, existence, analysis, and optimization of discrete structures. With this study guide, students can master this growing field--with applications in several physical and social sciences, including chemistry, computer science, operations research, and statistics. Includes hundreds of problems with detailed solutions. Combinatorial and graph-theoretic principles are used in many areas of pure and applied mathematics and also in such fields as electric circuit theory (graph theory, in fact, grew out of Kirchoff's Laws) and quantum physics. This book addresses some of the major (programmable) algorithms of graph theory and the Polya Counting Theorem. How many arrangements of a specified kind can be undergone by a given set of objects?
