Table of ContentsReviewsThis book provides an interesting introduction to combinatorics by employing number-theoretic techniques of counting sequences. The level of the presentation often seems elementary, as the author frequently throws out lagniappes suitable for high school students. The text unfolds in three parts. Part 1 covers set partitions, generating functions, Bell polynomials, log-concavity, log-convexity, Bernoulli and Cauchy numbers, ordered partitions, asymptotes, and related inequalities. Part 2 discusses generalizations of counting sequences in three chapters. The final part considers number theoretical properties, including congruences, by way of finite field methods and Diophantine results. Each chapter concludes with an Outlook section that gives suggestions about exploring additional topics not covered in the text. Mathematical proof is used throughout the exposition and tends to be enumerative, again contributing to a sense that the author hopes to engage mathematical novices through this text. However, the more than 250 exercises included in the book are frequently challenging and always interesting. The bibliography comprises more than 600 entries. Anyone who can follow the text is likely to enjoy working through the book. -D. P. Turner, Faulkner University Author InformationIstván Mező is a Hungarian mathematician.
