- Summary:
- As he is one of the foremost figures in the field of mathematical science, Donald Knuth's papers are widely referenced and stand as developmental milestones. This volume assembles more than three dozen of his pioneering contributions to discrete mathematics. It includes a variety of topics in combinatorial mathematics (finite geometries, graph theory, enumeration, partitions, tableaux, matroids, codes); discrete algebra (finite fields, groupoids, closure operators, inequalities, convolutions, Pfaffians); and concrete mathematics (recurrence relations, special numbers and notations, identities, discrete probability). Noteworthy features include two fundamental papers in which the evolution of random graphs is studied by means of generating functions.
