One of the most powerful and popular tools used in combinatorics is the probabilistic method. Describes current algorithmic techniques, applying both the classical method and the modern tools it uses. Along with a detailed description of the techniques used in probabilistic arguments, it includes basic methods which utilize expectation and variance plus recent applications of m...(展开全部)

The Probabilistic Method, Fourth Edition is an ideal textbook for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level students majoring in mathematic s, computer science, operations research, and statistics. The Fourth Edition is also an excellent reference for researchers and combinatorists who use probabilistic methods, discrete mathematics, and number theory.

Praise for the Second Edition : "Serious researchers in combinatorics or algorithm design will wish to read the book in its entirety...the book may also be enjoyed on a lighter level since the different chapters are largely independent and so it is possible to pick out gems in one's own area..." — Formal Aspects of Computing This Third Edition of The Probabilistic Method ...(展开全部)

Paul Erdős在其一生中发表的论文比任何其他数学家都多，尤其是在离散数学领域。他善于发现漂亮且陈述简洁的问题，他的解决方案对整个数学界产生了深远影响。这本引人入胜的书籍专为学生撰写，通过提出引发Erdős兴趣的问题及其处理这些问题的卓越方法，向读者提供了一本易于理解的离散数学入门书籍。书中包括年轻时Erdős证明的Bertrand假设、Erdős-Szekeres幸福结局定理、De Bruijn-Erdős定理、Erdős-Rado Δ 系统、Erdős-Ko-Rado定理、Erdős-Stone定理、Erdős-Rényi-Sós友谊定理、Erdős-Rényi随机图、Chvátal-Erdős关于Hamilton环的定理，以及Erdős的其他成果；另外还有一些与其工作相关的成果，如Ramsey定理或关于弱Δ系统的Deza定理。附录涵盖了通常...(展开全部)

A play based on the true story of a French diplomat, Bernard Boursicot, posted to Peking, who fell in love with a seductive opera singer, named Shi Pei Pu, apparently unaware that Pei Pu was a man. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Nietzsche called The Gay Science “the most personal of all my books.” It was here that he first proclaimed the death of God—to which a large part of the book is devoted—and his doctrine of the eternal recurrence. Walter Kaufmann’s commentary, with its many quotations from previously untranslated letters, brings to life Nietzsche as a human being and illuminates his philosophy. ...(展开全部)

The story of Karl Rossman who, after an embarrassing sexual misadventure with a servant girl, is banished to America by his parents. Expected to redeem himself in the magical land of opportunity, he instead gets swept up in a whirlwind of strange escapades and dizzying adventures.

In Hito Steyerl’s writing we begin to see how, even if the hopes and desires for coherent collective political projects have been displaced onto images and screens, it is precisely here that we must look frankly at the technology that seals them in. The Wretched of the Screen collects a number of Steyerl’s landmark essays from recent years in which she has steadily developed he...(展开全部)
