A Course in Combinatorics 2nd Edition PDF Download Ebook. J. H. van Lint and R. M. Wilson describe subject dealing with ways of arranging and distributing objects, and which involves ideas from geometry, algebra and analysis. There are also many applications, so workers in many scientific fields need some familiarity with the subject.

The extensive depth and breadth of the coverage make the book a unique guide to the whole of the subject, so that it is ideal for courses at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level and also for working mathematicians and scientists. The authors have made the text as comprehensive as possible, dealing in a unified manner with such topics as graph theory, extremal problems, designs, colorings, and codes.

The depth and breadth of the coverage make the book a unique guide to the whole of the subject. It is ideal for courses on combinatorical mathematics at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level, and working mathematicians and scientists will also find it a valuable introduction and reference.

The writing is very clear and there is a lot of explanation. Exercises are mixed in with the text, which I like very much; it makes them seem more natural, and it makes the book well-suited for self-study. I would say the difficulty level of this book is a bit inconsistent--but this is more a function of the material than of the writing style. The authors make everything as clear as possible, but they choose to include some difficult topics which require more thought.
