Reviews
The pace of this book is of an introductory nature, the coverage of Catalan numbers is rigorous and will provide the reader with a firm grasp of many of the properties of these numbers. ... a scholarly work and one that number theorists will find well worth reading. (James Van Speybroeck, Computing Reviews, April, 2016)

(James Van Speybroeck, Computing Reviews, April, 2016) The book is supplemented by a set of exercises for those who want to go further. The reader is helped by 70 carefully designed figures throughout the book. The 24 enumeration problems are selected carefully to show Catalan numbers from very different viewpoints. Several of these problems likely have their most readable write-up in this book. A must for anyone, who wants to understand the significance of Catalan numbers!
